Spelling Rubric
Kelly Loeffler (2005) designed this rubric as an alternative to traditional spelling tests. She believes that a Spelling Rubric gives students the opportunity to identify and correct their own misspellings, where traditional spelling tests do not. She designed this Rubric to ensure that she was assessing her students spelling ability and not their simply their ability to memorise a weekly spelling list, that can be quickly forgotten.

Spelling Analysis Chart
This chart breaks down a student's misspelt words into areas that they are having problems with. It is then easily identifiable if there are common areas of error throughout their spelling. These problem areas then can be an area of focus for the student's future spelling practice.
