Five scores from one photo
Legibility is the result: whether a reader can make out the words. Size, baseline, spacing, and slant are the reasons. The lowest of those four is the one to practice next. The score is an impression of a still photo. It does not measure speed, pressure, or stroke order, and it is not a clinical assessment. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing are not scored with this rubric.
| Five scores from one photo | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legibility | Every word is readable at a first glance. | A few words take a pause. The page can still be read. | About half the words need the surrounding words to guess. | Only a few words can be read. | Almost nothing is readable. |
| Size | Height stays steady on the line. | Height is mostly steady, with a few letters off. | Height jumps, but letter kinds still separate. | Height jumps often. | Heights collapse into one band. |
| Baseline | The feet of the letters share one line. | Most words sit on the line, with a few that drift. | A few words float or sink as a whole. | Many words leave the line. | The line has no stable landing. |
| Spacing | Letters sit close inside words, and words sit apart. | Spacing is mostly even, with a few tight or wide spots. | Some words crash together, or gaps look like a new sentence. | Word boundaries are often unclear. | Word boundaries are unclear. |
| Slant | The whole sample leans the same way. | The lean is mostly consistent, with a few letters off. | Some words lean right and some lean left. | The lean changes often. | There is no stable direction. |
