What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students make a simple plan with a sketch or a few words before drafting. They reread with adult support, add or change ideas, then fix capitals, punctuation, and familiar spelling.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students use a picture or a few words to plan their writing. With a prompt, they add or change a useful detail and correct capitals, punctuation, or familiar spelling.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think revising means copying a draft neatly or correcting spelling only. They may erase the whole draft instead of adding details or changing one part.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Draw a plan for one sentence about recess, write it, add one detail, then circle and fix a capital or punctuation mark.

Ways to Teach It
Give students picture cards to order, then have them sketch a plan, write two sentences, add one detail, and correct capitals and periods.
Display a short draft and ask, "What could the writer add to help us picture what happened?"
Play Fix or Add by having partners sort sentence cards into editing fixes and revision changes.
Write a thank-you note to a school helper, then revise for a specific detail and edit capitals and punctuation.
