What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students decide what they want to show or say before they begin. With adult help, they add useful details and fix simple errors in pictures and writing.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can state a plan, then create a related drawing and sentence. With a prompt, the student adds or changes a detail and fixes a simple error.
Common Misconceptions
- Children may think the first version is finished. They may confuse revising with erasing everything, or editing with making handwriting neater.
How to Assess It
- Give each child a three-box page labeled Plan, Make, and Improve. Have them plan aloud, create a picture and sentence, add one detail, then check capitals and punctuation.

Ways to Teach It
Have children plan with picture cards, draw and label a scene, then use sticky notes to add one missing detail.
Ask, “What could you add so your reader knows more?” and have partners suggest one useful change.
Play Fix-It Detective by showing short sentences and letting children circle missing capitals, spaces, or end marks.
Create a class thank-you note, then revise it by adding a specific reason and edit it before sending.
