Description
How to Teach Peer Review
Peer review helps young writers see their own work through a reader’s eyes. With the Work in Progress Peer Review Worksheet, third graders write a first draft about a science topic or a time in history, then trade papers with a classmate who reads the draft closely and gives kind, useful feedback. Students learn that a first draft is a work in progress, and that sharing it with a partner is one of the best ways to make it stronger.
Using the Worksheet
This work in progress peer review worksheet is a two-page set. On page one, the writer records a topic and composes a draft on roomy ruled lines. On page two, the partner writes both names, reads the draft from start to end, and checks off a five-point review list covering topic focus, capital letters, end marks, spelling, and strong word choice. The reviewer then writes one thing they liked and one way to make the writing better, so the writer leaves with praise and a clear next step for revising. This 3rd grade peer review writing worksheet works well during writing workshop, partner time, or as part of any research or report unit.
What’s Included
- Page 1: a topic line and a full page of ruled draft lines
- Page 2: a Writer and Reviewer name row
- A five-statement peer review checklist with check boxes
- Two written feedback prompts: one thing I liked and one way to improve
Why It Helps Kids
- Builds the revising and editing habits of the writing process
- Gives students a simple, repeatable way to give specific, kind feedback
- Connects conventions like capitals, end marks, and spelling to real writing
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model a peer review with a sample draft before students try it on their own. Pair students with a partner who is writing about a different topic so each reader learns something new. After the review, give writers time to revise, and have them circle one change they made because of their partner’s feedback. At home, a parent or sibling can play the reviewer role and use the same checklist.
