Revision & Re-recording Guidelines
Revision & Re-recording Guidelines
Now that you've created your children's book, it's time to polish it up! Follow these steps to revise your writing and improve your audio recordings so your final product is clear, correct, and fun to follow—just like Soy Carlos.
✏️ 1. Text Revisions (Writing & Grammar)
Go back and carefully review your book page by page. Use the feedback you’ve received and check for the following:
✅ Spelling – Double-check accents and spelling, especially with common words (yo, gusta, es, etc.).
✅ Verb Forms – Make sure your verbs match the subject (Yo soy, Él tiene, etc.).
✅ Consistency – Keep your tenses and subjects consistent throughout.
✅ Simple & Clear Language – Remember, this is a book for kids! Use short, easy sentences.
✅ Vocabulary – Check that your words make sense in context. Use classroom vocabulary and phrases we’ve learned.
🔊 2. Voice Recording Revisions
Your voice recording is what brings your book to life! Listen to your original audio and revise as needed:
🔁 Re-record any parts where:
You mispronounced a word
You read too fast or too slow
You sound unsure or robotic (aim for expressive and confident!)
The audio is unclear or hard to hear
🗣️ Tips for Recording:
Practice reading your sentences out loud before recording
Speak slowly and clearly
Smile while you read—your voice will sound more natural and friendly!
Make sure there’s no background noise
📂 Final Check Before Submitting:
✅ All grammar and spelling corrections are made
✅ All suggested teacher edits are accepted or improved upon
✅ Voice recordings match the revised text
✅ Audio is clear and engaging
