Listen and respond to questions and suggestions from a teacher or peers to add detail, clarify meaning, and strengthen your writing. This is the scaffolded beginning of writing self-evaluation, not an independent skill.

Hearing the words can help you notice a missing word or a part that is hard to follow. Try a word in a gap, then read the whole sentence again. Reading aloud may not find every mistake. Ask your teacher for help if you are unsure. *(drawing: Read: Mia kicks ___ ball. Try "the" in the gap. Read the whole sentence again: Mia kicks the ball.)* **Example.** Feedback is a reader's question or suggestion about your writing. Ben reads his story aloud. His teacher asks, "Can you tell me more about the dog?" Ben adds a sentence about the dog's brown fur. This gives his reader a detail about what the dog looked like. To answer a reader's question, choose a detail about what they asked. If they ask what happened next, tell the next action. If they ask how something felt, tell how it felt. A detail about something else does not answer that question. Ask which part if you are unsure. If a reader cannot tell who or what you mean, use names instead of words like "she" or "it". Keep what you meant to say. Read the changed part again. Check feedback with your teacher. A part that is already clear can stay as it is. You do not have to change it just to show you listened. **Recap.** Read with your teacher, listen to feedback, and check the part. Make a change if it helps your reader understand. *Original lesson, questions and flashcards about checking writing and responding to feedback, written for this dataset.* ## Practice 8 questions on this page, each with its working shown. ## Optional connections - [Checking your own work](https://lightmysky.com/learn/learning-to-learn/checking-your-own-work-mt_8dstvf-KKb) - [Feeling of not understanding](https://lightmysky.com/learn/learning-to-learn/feeling-of-not-understanding-mt_klyw-tdlhP) - [Simple stories with a beginning and an ending](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/simple-stories-with-a-beginning-and-an-ending-mt_nDAcXoPa0c) - [Writing Process Vocabulary](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/writing-process-vocabulary-mt_o8ciHks8t2) ## Opens up - [Revising and editing (age 8+)](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/revising-and-editing-age-8-mt_HWYAspz-LK) - [Revising and editing](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/revising-and-editing-mt_I65kFjWwnF) - [Reviewing Own Writing](https://lightmysky.com/learn/english/reviewing-own-writing-mt_U_8iVFZuHH)
