Written Comprehension Do not read the written comprehension questions to the student! Students can use the book during the written comprehension assessment Both comprehension components must be completed on each child Be sure to use the rubric in the book to score the writing Make sure the written response follows the standard located on the written response rubric You must take the lowest score of the two written comprehension pieces as the lowest score For example: If Karla scored a 2 on the first written comprehension piece and then scored a 1, the final score would be a 1.
