# Responding to Writing Feedback

With teacher guidance, re-read own writing aloud to check it sounds right; listen and respond to questions and suggestions from teacher or peers to add detail, clarify meaning, and strengthen writing — this is the scaffolded beginning of writing self-evaluation, not an independent skill

## Ready when they can

- Reread own writing and spot a missing word or unclear sentence
- Add a detail in response to a question (e.g. 'Can you tell me more about...?')
- Make at least one improvement to a piece based on feedback

## Lesson: Listening to Feedback on Your Writing

After you write, read it out loud. Your ears can catch things your eyes miss. Maybe a word is missing. Maybe a sentence sounds strange.

*(drawing: Say this out loud: Mia kicks ___ ball. Did you hear the gap? A word is missing. It should say: Mia kicks the ball.)*

**Example.** Ben reads his story aloud. His teacher asks, "Can you tell me more about the dog?" Ben thinks, then adds a sentence about the dog's brown fur.

**Tip.** Feedback is not about being wrong. It helps your writing get stronger and clearer.

Sometimes you skip a word when you write fast. Reading aloud slows you down. You hear the gap and can fix it.

**Recap.** Read aloud, listen to feedback, then make one small change.
