There are many challenges to homeschooling students. This article address how to create a grade that properly reflects a student’s progress. This can be especially challenging when grading a student who suffers from a learning difficulty such as dyslexia. A very good solution to those seeking an appropriate grading system is creating a grading rubric which can be a great tool not only for grading a students’ progress, but can also be customized for students with learning difficulties.

A rubric is a scoring tool that lists the grading criteria for an assignment.

An excellent example is provided of a writing rubric that allows the teacher to specify elements of writing criteria and measure the level of progress in each element. There are also links to online rubric makers. A grading rubric can also allow for flexibility in grading students with learning challenges by allowing the teacher to make areas of difficulties for the students less of a percentage of the actual grade. It’s a very informative article for those struggling to create a grading system for their homeschool students.
Rubrics are not only a systematic way to establish grades for your homeschool student, they also are a great way to let students know exactly what is expected of them.
