I am also pulling together a portfolio for my DS6 since we don't have achievement scores. Does each work sample need to show a different area listed (math, reading, writing, science, social studies), or can they be from the same area but different topics? For instance, in math showing addition and geometry.

Also, my DS has difficulty writing (may have dysgraphia) so writing samples will be difficult. Is it a good option to walk him through a worksheet and just have him give answers on video rather than writing?

Any other tips for making the strongest portfolio I can?
