Sharing the editing and proofreading strategy I’ve developed to help children with this part of the writing process. Hoping the EDIT 👂🏻 and SPECS 👓 mnemonics can support anyone looking to make greater impact in this area. teachersparkly.wordpress.com/2025/04/21/edi… #Edutwitter

Something that may help writing for the up and coming Summer ☀️ Term! Hope everyone has a positive first day back whenever that is.

Love that the Writing Framework values the writing process but I’ve adapted it to also include purpose, audience & text type. It’s made a big difference for the children I work with! Sharing my version here 👇📝 #PrimaryEd #writingframework #edutwitter

In my mission to help children improve their writing without schools spending a fortune, I’ve developed these editing & proofreading mnemonics to include an animal rhyme for each letter. This will make the process more engaging for younger learners! 🐾✍️

✏️ How can we make editing & proofreading simple yet meaningful for KS1 & KS2? 👀 Check out these examples using my easy mnemonics in action! 🔄 Choose the steps that fit your class & writing genre. No need to use them all at once!

Nothing says ‘new school year prep’ like battling the sticky Velcro graveyard left on the whiteboard 😂✨. From grimy disaster ➡️ spotless shine… armed with a sponge, half the cleaning aisle and enough patience to rival a saint. 🧽🫧💪

I never appreciated the importance of these basic shapes until I really focused in on how to help children with their handwriting. It really broadened my thinking when I realised it was more than just copying, as tracing & matching helps too! instagram.com/reel/DNi8grysq…

Designed this poster to help remind myself and classes in my school of what we need to do to be ready to write!

Labelling drawers with words and images is such a simple way to build inclusivity in the primary classroom. Helping to build independence and support all learners. Link to the pdf which includes these labels in the comments 🖍️✂️📚

After hearing the idea to ask these Qs at the start of the year from Rachel Johnson PiXL at a conference last year, I’m definitely going to do this again this year. It gave me really valuable insights straight away to what the children and parents wanted out of the new school year.
