AC9EFLY06 · shared editing of short written texts

Learning focus: I can create a short text and help edit capitals, punctuation and simple spellings.

Model it: Worked example: spell a CVC word inside a short observation Worked-model method: say, draft, spell a CVC word, reread and edit. 1. Say the observation first: ‘We saw a cat.’ 2. Say cat slowly, segment its three sound positions, spell the CVC word and blend it back to check that the written word says cat. 3. Reread the visible sentence ‘We saw a cat.’ and explicitly check that upper-case W begins it, the full stop ends it and the words carry the intended meaning. Model answer: The sentence records one clear…

Ask the learner: What is the main idea of shared editing of short written texts?

Look for: The learner can I can create a short text and help edit capitals, punctuation and simple spellings in a fresh example and explain the evidence or reasoning without copying the model.

If they are stuck: If the learner guesses or repeats a rule without evidence, return to the concrete or visual model and ask them to explain what each part shows.
