Cayman Islands Writing Exemplar

AF8: 

Conventions

 – Use correct spelling

• 

Most high frequency words are spelled accurately. The author also demonstrates a good understanding of the 

“ing” suffix.  He/she dropped “e” (e.g., “Having”) and in some instances doubled the consonant. A review of 

“Pushy E” verbs will help this student spell “kick” accurately.

AF9: 

Presentation 

– Handwriting and presentation

• 

The author’s handwriting is neat and readable and letters are generally formed appropriately. Words  

are spaced appropriately, although the paragraph’s indent is too large. 

• 

The author also effectively and neatly uses lines.
