Writing Roadmap Usage and Additional Predictors of WESTEST 2 Online Writing Scores	Research Brief	Report
Larry J. White, Nate Hixson, and Andy Whisman, February 2011
Writing Roadmap™ is an online essay scoring tool developed by CTB McGraw-Hill that provides students in Grades 3-12 with the opportunity to complete an unlimited number of practice sessions in which they write essays in response to a variety of prompts. It is used, among other purposes, to help students practice and build confidence in their writing ability prior to the completion of the online writing session of the statewide summative assessment, WESTEST 2. An earlier study found that, in all cases, students who had completed five or more Writing Roadmap exercises exhibited higher composite writing scores than those who did not complete any assignments. The purpose of this second study is to determine the amount of variance accounted for by the Writing Roadmap usage variable beyond that which is accounted for by students’ prior academic performance and several other variables.
