Assessing Early Composing Skills
Ms. Tomlinson’s pre-kindergarten class has been working on writing narratives. During a busy center time, 4-year-old Noah has chosen to work in the writing center on a story he has been adding to throughout the week. Ms. Tomlinson examines his written product to gain information about his writing development: she sees a collection of tight, linear scribbles and drawings on Noah’s paper. While some might interpret the work as drawing or art rather than writing, Ms. Tomlinson knows that there is more to the story, so to speak.
