As a parent, it can be difficult to evaluate your child's writing objectively—and to know just what kind of advice and feedback is appropriate. To give you an idea about the criteria against which student writing is often judged, you can view annotated models of above-average, average, and below-average writing for a variety of writing types your child will be working on this year. Just select your child's grade level from the menu below, and choose the writing type you're interested in.
