Editing Codes and Proofreading Marks Poster

About this printable

This A4 poster lists shorthand editing codes (e.g. C = Clarify, S = Support, E = Elaborate) alongside meanings, and a parallel column of common proofreading marks (insert, delete, capital letter, comma, full stop, etc.) with short ‘use for’ prompts. It also includes a short ‘How to use’ numbered routine and a few reminder tips for checking meaning, reading aloud and making one change at a time. Use it as a visible reference during writing, editing cycles or peer feedback so students learn to separate big-picture edits from punctuation/formatting fixes.
