Speed Marking reading and writing responses.

5 Resources
Sheets to assist with speed marking. This will save you the time-consuming job of writing out the full targets while not compromising the specificity of your marking. The reading response sheet should work with any reading/comprehension response to a text where students are expecting to answer in PEE style paragraphs. The writing response sheet should work with any task in which students produce a creative response. The 20 targets are differentiated - starting with the basics before moving on to higher skills.
