We don't have any mandated writing assessment… it's kind of a blessing and a curse. I think we are all doing different assessments although there is a writing component to the reading test we all use as part of our reading program! Your assessment looks quiet intense!! Thanks for hosting!

Our kinder writing assessment is more of a rubric we fill out. The kids don't have to produce a writing sample. We test them on everything it seems, though.
