Common misconception
Pupils may think that they have no errors if they have checked for mistakes in the writing lesson.
Teach them that editing is a part of the writing process that needs time dedicated to improving the word choices and spotting mistakes.
You may wish to provide pupils with work you have created for them that includes suitable things to edit. Children could do peer editing, where they edit their partner's work together and then swap roles. It can sometimes be easier for pupils to spot errors in someone else's work.
