Writing Analysis

For an English language learner in the third grade, Sally’s handwriting is legible and she seems to understand punctuation and some concepts of print like using capital letters, commas, apostrophes, periods, and exclamation points. She does, however, display trouble with her spelling and the abbreviating of words, although one can tell that she is on the right path. Also, she tends to run all of her words together, not separating them with finger spaces. She does follow the conventions of return sweep and from left to right writing, which is much different from her symbol writing of her native language of Iranian and Farsi.
