Abstract
The LEaPP Writing Rubric can be used to assess foundational and compositional writing skills for all learners. Foundational skills that are assessed include capitalization, spacing, punctuation, and spelling. Compositional skills that are assessed include writing purpose, topic maintenance, vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar usage, and organization. This rubric allows an educator to quantify and categorize a learner’s writing skills as poor, emerging, developing or consistent. It can be tailored for use with any writing sample at the sentence, single paragraph, or essay level. This document contains directions for use and a brief scoring guide.
