FREE Easy and Effective Writing Rubric

 My Easy and Effective Writing Rubric is now listed as a FREE resource in my TPT store at WhamPhonics.  I’ll talk through the details quickly.  I used one-half sheet for the year.  The type of writing didn’t matter-biography, creative writing, informational, or a science report. It can be used at any level. 

 While we’re talking about journals, I prefer composition-style books-even if I had to buy them.  The pages don’t tear out easily.  They can use the left for following a mentor text lesson or sentence structure and use the right side for their own writing.  Spirals just make too much of a mess for me! Are you a first-year teacher? I hear you!  Use Donors Choose! Ask for what you need.  MANY people want to support education. 

 The rubric is not so cumbersome (of your time) and of parents’ understanding.   Easy to snap a pic and share with families when students are showing great gains!
