Note: To work out percentage of text count the number of errors, subtract from the total words written and divide by the number of words then
multiply by 100.
Eg With grammar and punctuation, a student writes 26 words and makes 5 errors, so26-5=21. 21/26=0.80x100=80% correct.
Eg: With spelling, a student writes 21 words and makes 9 errors so 21-9=12. 12/21=57 % correct.
