This writing rubric was developed by the Literacy Squared team. Teachers and coaches can use this rubric to assess students' writing in Spanish and English side-by-side. The rubric allows teachers and coaches to collect quantitative and qualitative evidence of student writing in two languages with attention to content, structural elements, spelling (side 1: quantitative) and bilingual strategies from Spanish to English and English to Spanish at the discourse, sentence/phrase, word, and phonics levels (side 2: qualitative). The side-by-side analysis of student writing in two languages using the Literacy Squared Writing Rubric is explained and exemplified in Biliteracy from the Start: Literacy Squared in Action (Escamilla et al, 2013).
