The article presents findings from a research project that investigated young, fluent writers' revision practices. The project adopted a qualitative approach, using semi‐structured interviews based on the students' written scripts. This article focuses on a small sample of children and profiles the extent of their ability to reflect on their written text and revise or ‘mess’ with their work purposefully.
