Episode 264
Grading a stack of student writing and not sure where to start? This episode is for you.
Adrea Truckenmiller is a researcher and professor whose work on writing assessment has shaped how schools support struggling writers. In this episode, she shares insights from her research on five key components of writing that can transform instruction and improve student outcomes.
Adrea and her team spent years studying writing development. They built a protocol that pinpoints five components with the biggest influence on how students grow as writers: text structure, vocabulary and word complexity, spelling and word accuracy, sentence accuracy, and typing fluency.
You'll walk away from this episode with practical ways to assess student writing, give actionable feedback, and know exactly what to teach next.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- The five components that matter most for writing development
- Why sentence accuracy, not complexity, had the biggest impact on outcomes, even through eighth grade
- Simple ways to figure out what a student needs next when their writing is all over the place
- How to make writing assessment feel less overwhelming and more actionable
This conversation is based on Adrea's article, Analysis of Student Informational Writing to Personalize Writing Instruction
