Grade 3 · Writing · Lesson 33

Peer-Editing and Giving Feedback

Every professional writer has an editor — someone who reads their work and helps them make it better. When you read a friend's writing and share helpful ideas, you become their editor. That's called peer editing, and it is one of the most powerful skills a writer can learn. Today you will practice the two-pass system: revise first, edit second.
