Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF8: 

Conventions

 – Use correct spelling

• 

Most high frequency words are spelled correctly and phonetically plausible attempts are made for unknown 

words. The text is understandable and readable. 

• 

The author may have referred to classroom resources, such as a word wall. 

AF9: 

Presentation

 – Handwriting and presentation

•  As specified in the Ministry’s handwriting policy, the author was not required to write on lines. Word spacing is 

 

appropriate throughout the majority of the text; however, in a few instances, the spacing is inconsistent and the 

author places words too closely together. 

• 

The author includes a simple illustration that shows two of the events he/she writes about.
