Editing and revising help make writing better. Editing means checking for mistakes like spelling and punctuation. For example, if you wrote, 'I lik to play,' you would change 'lik' to 'like.' Revising is when you think about how to make your ideas clearer or stronger. If you wrote a story and realized it was too short, you could add more details about the characters or setting to make it more interesting.
