This "Kindergarten Opinion Writing and Drawing Rubric" from STEP UP is an assessment tool designed to evaluate the foundational literacy and illustration skills of kindergarten students. It measures progress across five core categories: organization, ideas, word choice, sentence fluency, and mechanics/conventions. Student performance is graded across four progressive levels—Advanced, Proficient, Basic, and Below Basic—complete with visual examples of drawing development for each tier. Because it is tailored for early learners, the rubric uniquely balances both written text and drawings while tracking crucial developmental milestones like phonetic spelling, capitalization, and directional writing awareness.
