What are the writing expectations (# of paragraph wise) of a 1st and of a 2nd grader?
The writing expectations of a 1st and 2nd grader are obviously not as high as older students. However, if your child (or whoever) exceeds the limit of expectation for their grade it is very likely that they will be rewarded most and they could be skipped a grade, or more! But I haven’t answered your question yet, have I? Well, the writing expectations of a 1st and 2nd grader are the following: 1) Spelling, to not be below average 2) Paragraphing, to not be exceeded by 10 or more lines 3) Writing presentation (i.e handwriting style, layout, setting etc.) to be not very scruffy, messy is accepted but tidy is very much appreciated 4) Sentences to include at least 3 or 4 words It does not vary by state or Country. Whereas, in the UK spellings and paraghing skills may be different to USA for instance e.g. favorite (in the US) is spelled as favourite (with a u, in the UK). So, in a way, it does vary by state and Country.
