Curriculum-Based Measurement of Writing in Kindergarten and First Grade: An Investigation of Production and Qualitative Scores (2010, background): “Current measures used to assess spelling or letter writing (Ritchey, 2006, 2008) or that require copying and/or dictation (Lembke et al., 2003) fail to capture the potential range of writing competencies that students in kindergarten and first grade possess.”
The Scaffolding of Emergent Literacy Skills in the Home Environment: A Case Study (2009, background): “Recently, joint writing activities have also been found to be more effective than storybook reading in facilitating the development of emergent literacy skills in young children (Aram & Biron, 2004; Ritchey, 2008).”
Curriculum-Based Measures of Beginning Writing: Technical Features of the Slope (2011, background): “Further, researchers have developed CBM spelling tasks for older (e.g., Fuchs, Fuchs, Hamlett, & Allinder, 1991a, 1991b) and beginning (e.g., Ritchey, 2008) writers; further development of such tasks may be useful in assessing developing writing skills.”
