When is the best time to conduct handwriting assessment?

Writing Time

Writing Time Student Practice Books (Years 1–6) have a dedicated assessment section at the back of the book that allows students to demonstrate the handwriting skills they’ve learned throughout the year. Look for the handy assessment prompts throughout the book that let you know it’s an ideal time to conduct a specific activity in the assessment section. 



Writing Time Online is also home to some great assessment resources, including an assessment guide, an observational checklist and a student assessment profile.
