Chapter 8 is devoted to the assessment of students’ spelling and writing development. It discusses the developmental nature of learning to spell, predictable spelling stages and strategies, and assessment devices that help place students on a developmental continuum. Monitoring and documenting progress in writing using sampling procedures, skills checklists, Six Traits writing evaluation, and writing rubrics are detailed with lively examples of student writing.
