Curriculum-based measures of written expression have traditionally used total words written or correct word sequences as indices of students' skill levels. This investigation attempted to determine whether additional hand-scored and computer-scored measures might share more variance with the criterion measures. The new measure, correct punctuation marks, shows the most promise for serving as an additional index for writing skill. (Contains 19 references and 8 tables.) (GCP)
