Writing Analysis

When Maria wrote her passage I asked her to write about what she liked about the Wimpy Kid books.  Her writing was well organized in that all three sentences were on topic.  She also has a main idea.  However there were no supporting details or transitions with in the writing. 

There were errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation.  The frequently used words in the sentences are spelled correctly.  She forgot the “p” in Wimpy and miss spelled funny, surprises, and characters.  While funny is easily recognized, surprises and characters are not.  It looks like she recognized some of the letters that should be in the word and just wrote those down. 

Maria’s writing traits are a combination between a beginning level writer and an immediate level writer according to the writing traits matrix.  Her fluency, organization, and genre are at intermediate levels while her grammar, vocabulary, and sentence variety is at the beginner level.
