A Kid-Friendly Revision Checklist for Paragraph Writing
Young writers often think “done” means “first draft typed.” A checklist upgrades quality without killing voice.
One job per pass
Pass A: Does each paragraph have one main idea? Pass B: Evidence or example for big claims? Pass C: Read aloud for clunky spots.
Highlight transitions
Circle words like because, however, for example. Missing connectors confuse readers.
Compare to the prompt
Underline verbs in the teacher question—did the draft answer every part?
