At the end of the form, there is a space for you to copy/paste the URL to your child’s writing sample. A Google doc link is often easiest. You can enable general access or share the doc with info@rosewritingcenter.com.
For the most accurate assessment, provide a composition your child wrote independently in the past three months. We kindly ask that you select a sample no more than 500 words in length.
We will email you a detailed report describing the strengths and weaknesses we identify in your child’s writing sample within three business days.
