3rd Grade Common Core Writing Rubrics & Checklists for the ENTIRE YEAR!

Students are thoughtful and empowered when they know what is expected of them and have opportunities to reflect on their work. These rubrics and checklists provide the documents to help you do this, and will guide you and your students through a year of writing in multiple genres.

This document includes:

The rubrics identify grade-level Common Core standards for writing and language skills, including benchmarks for student achievement at four levels: Exceeding Standards, Meeting Standards, Approaching Standards, and Not Yet Approaching Standards.

Standards can be found under one of the following categories: Ideas, Organization, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, Voice, Conventions, and Behavior.

The language in the rubric is also helpful for progress reports and/or report cards.
