Miki in a kindergartner who loves to write. She often uses scribbles but she prints her own name and 8 high-frequency words correctly. Sometimes she writes from left to right but at other times her writing appears randomly on the page. She rarely remembers what she's written in order to reread it, but she's proud of it nonetheless. Her teacher has classified her as a beginning writer; do you agree?
What will be an ideal response?
No, Miki is an emergent writer as most kindergartners are. Most of the descriptors are characteristic of the emergent writing stage.
