Narrative Assessment 10th Feb 2016 - Literacy

Learner: Samara                   Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 10 Feb 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the learners to write a story about an action they liked doing. We practised writing “I am” and we found these words on the word card, and said which colour box the words were in. We then talked about finding the initial letter of the action we liked doing by sounding the first letter out. Samara then went off by herself to write her own story. Samara wrote “I AM = S. I AM = P” (I am skipping, I am playing).

Evidence of learning

Samara was able to sound out the beginning letter for skipping and playing. I wonder if she practised her writing in the holidays?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Samara is developing her Capabilities in her writing. She was able to work by herself to write a story (Managing Self). Samara is starting to form her letters correctly and listen to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text). She was able to Think of her own story and write it down.

Next Learning Steps

Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card. Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story. Continue to teach correct letter formation (upper/lower case). Continue to teach finger spacing. Share learning with home.
