Writing Assessment Procedure

Writing Assessment Procedure

Preparation, administration and use of half termly writing targets

The autumn term writing assessments need to be compared with summer 2 results.  If there are any discrepancies between individual children?s results teachers need to meet with the literacy coordinator to investigate the reason.

Writing assessments are to be;

• administered the term before
• levelled and then targets set by teacher 
• written in the genre that will be mostly taught for the next half term
• completed by children with just a 10 minute introduction by the teacher

Once written they will be used to;

• level children?s writing, using level descriptors
• set next step target/s for each child
• enter into dialogue with children - the first week back after half term 
• plan to the needs of the class

First week after half term...

• plan independent activities for whole class in order that you can share targets with each child (literacy lessons may not necessarily be conventional or in line with MTP, for this week)
• stick and highlight target sheets in front of children?s large green literacy books
• T/A time should be freed up to photocopy children?s target sheets etc.
