Having had some recent experience with developing something similar at the middle school level, I suggest you think about what is expected from children in terms of expectations that relates to writing and work backwards from there. Combine this with any guidance from your state curriculum standards and focus on what matters most to successful writing experiences. In kindergarten, that might mean starting a simple sentence with capital letter and using a period. In third grade, that might mean the ability to write statements, questions and interjections that are correctly punctuated along with the ability to use internal punctuation in dialogue and list sentences plus the ability to use a variety of conjunctions and transitions in their writing.
