He gave me several scores on the phone that look like they have to do with writing. He said Hadnwriting was a SS of 100 and Writing Samples was 112. Then Fluency at 89 and Spelling 111. So I can't figure out what the difference between Writing Samples and Handwriting would be then. Hadnwriting is grade equivalent 3.6 and Writing Samples is grade equivalent 6.2 (I finally dug out the piece of scratch paper I wrote this on). None of this makes any sense.
Ok, I found this online. But it still doesn't really answer my question about what exactly they need to do for "writing samples":
Written Expression
[8] Writing Fluency measures the skill in formulating and writing simple sentences
quickly.
[11] Writing Samples measures skill in writing responses to a variety of demands. The person must produce
written sentences that are evaluated with respect to the quality of expression. Item difficulty increases by
increasing passage length, le
vel of vocabulary, grammatical complexities, and level of concept abstraction.
The individual is not penalized for errors in basic writing skills, such as spelling or punctuation.
