Ch#4 Assessing children’s writing reading reflection.

We can help children to be better writers(sophisticated writers) to measure how well children are using the writing process by using process writing assessment such as observing, conferencing, collecting, and scoring.

“Assessment provides information about what writers know and what they can do. It’s something that teachers do every day, in one form or another. (Anderson,2005)

“Because proficiency in written expression requires the intergration of multiple skills, the assessment of writing is a complex endeavor.”(Tindal& Marston,1990)
