Year 4 Handwriting Rubric
Copy the passage carefully, then use the rubric to notice what is working well and choose one goal for your next piece of handwriting.
Copy this passage
A tiny tūī landed beside the garden gate. It tilted its head, then darted towards a bright red kōwhai flower. I watched quietly so I would not scare it away.
1.Look at your copied passage. Circle one letter you formed especially clearly. Write that letter here, then name one letter you will practise forming more carefully.
2.Which copy of the words ‘bright flower’ is easiest to read?
- brightflower
- bright flower
- b r i g h t f l o w e r
3.For each feature-description pair, write “Yes” if the description matches your copied passage or “Not yet” if it does not. Be honest: the goal is to choose a useful next step.
4.Read your copied passage aloud. Choose the feature that would help a reader most if you improved it: letter formation, size and shape, spacing, line placement, fluency or presentation. Explain why.
5.Leaving a clear space between words helps a reader tell where one word ends and the next begins.
TrueFalse
6.Rewrite this sentence neatly, paying attention to the tall letters and the spaces between words: ‘The little bird sang.’
7.Choose one level for your copied passage: Starting (I need lots of practice), Growing (I can do some parts well), Confident (my writing is usually clear and consistent), or Strong (my writing is clear, consistent and tidy). Give one reason for your choice.
8.Write one specific goal for your next piece of handwriting. Then name a simple way you will check whether you met it.
Use this space to write one sentence that helps you practise your goal. Keep the letters clear and the words spaced.
