Howard, Kathryn
Teaching PreK-8, v27 n2 p58,61-62 Oct 1996
Introduces the Parent Writing Folder Review assessment strategy for eighth-grade children's writing, whereby parents discuss the student's writing with them and complete a written evaluation. Describes how evaluation of parents' reflections about children's writing found that they indicated growth in children's writing, identified areas for improvement, and were positive in tone. Also, students responded positively to parents' involvement. (KDFB)
