When we look at applying to DYS, I'll hope the Stanford-Binet report and WIAT that the school did will be enough. The whole portfolio thing is baffling to me. However, our local HG program has a full rubric with portfolio including SB + WIAT + Reading + Oral + Written.
I don't have a measuring rod to understand what "written expression two grades above" would be. Anybody know a resource that lays out what written expression looks like by grade level? I'd like to encourage/support DS7 in increasing his written complexity despite handwriting challenges.
