Wireless Writing Report for 2008

The Grade 6 Wireless Writing Program report for 2008 is now available online on the WWP page

You can also read the report here.

Conclusions from this years report are as follows:

  • Grade 6 students in the WWP continue to show gains in writing achievement. For 2007-2008, the gains are substantial and beyond what would normally be expected in a year of schooling.
  •  Improvements are greatest in the core aspect of written communication – meaning. By spring, most students were able to express, develop, and organize their ideas at a relatively high level.
  • Female students outperformed male students in both fall and spring. Both groups demonstrated approximately the same level of improvement; thus, the gender gap did not decrease.
