Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF8: 

Conventions

 – Use correct spelling

• 

Most high frequency words are spelled correctly (e.g., “the,” “to,” “in,” “then,” “my”) and some phonetically 

plausible attempts are made for unknown words (e.g., “wus” = was). 

• 

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. The author’s 

 

spacing is generally consistent; however, there are a few instances in which words are placed too closely  

together.
