Top tips on leaving comments on children’s writing (adapted from David Mitchell’s advice):
Every time your comment, use the 1,2,3 structure:
- One: Say something positive “I really like how you have tried to use some powerful verbs in your writing. It helps bring it to life.”
- Two: Make a connection & ask a questionBy asking a question, you are encouraging a reply and you are engaging the author. “Your writing makes me think that you may have read some Michael Morpurgo books. Which story inspired you to write this?
- Three: Suggest an improvement“To make this even better, you could change the way you opened the final sentence. Can you think of an adverb that would work? Leave a comment with some ideas.”
