Handwriting rubrics help to outline the components of a handwriting sample to better collect data. Those areas may include:

✅Letter formation: how many letters are formed accurately (i.e. they look like the letter they are supposed to look like?)
✅Letter spaces: how many of the spaces between LETTERS are an appropriate amount of space (not too close or too far)?
✅Word spaces: how many of the spaces between WORDS are an appropriate amount of space (not too close or too far)? Spacing between letters and words is spatial awareness in handwriting.
✅Letter sizing: how many letters are the correct SIZE (i.e. tall letters should be bigger than small letters). This is also considered letter size awareness.
✅Line adherence: how many letters are placed age-appropriately on the baseline? Also known as line awareness.
