Identifying an Indicator of Growth in Early Writing Proficiency for Elementary School Students.

Assessment for Effective Intervention, v28 n3-4 p23-35 Spr-Sum 2003

This study compared alternative measures of early writing performance with 15 second-grade students in a summer program for students at risk. Two- to three-minute samples were obtained of word copying, sentence copying, word dictation, and sentence dictation. Writing from word and sentence dictation correlated best with global judgments of competence and quantitative scoring of story writing. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
