Narrative Rubric: Student Name: - Date: - Story

This document presents a narrative rubric used to assess students' narrative skills. The rubric scores students on 7 components of narratives: characters, setting, story elements, grammar, story cohesion, transition words, and total narrative score. Each component is scored 1-4 based on how fully the student incorporates that element. The rubric provides a consistent way to measure student progress in narrative skills over time by comparing scores on successive narratives.

Narrative Rubric
This Narrative “rubric” is a scoring or rating system used with all of my speech and language students who work on “Narrative Skills”. A narrative is a “monologue” by which a person re-tells a story
they have heard or an experience they had. This is an expressive communication task that encompasses many individual skills such as sequencing and providing adequate background knowledge,
vocabulary and grammar skills, and story elements such as focusing on a main idea and connecting events. Given so many items to consider, this self-made “rubric” allows me to assess all elements
and track progress in a consistent measurable way. This rubric is based on scoring standards from the Test of Narrative Language (2004, PRO-ED). There are seven scoring components. Each
component is scored as a 1,2, 3 or 4. Scores are added together to achieve a total narrative score. I use this score as a baseline to compare future narratives to in order to measure individual student
progress.
