Narrative Assessment - 8 Mar 2016

Learner:  Rain                 Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 8 Mar 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the learners to write a story about where they had been in the past. We modelled writing: “I went to the ...” and we found these words on the alphabet card, and said which colour box the words were in. We then talked about finding the initial letter of the place we had been by writing down the letter sounds we could hear; using the alphabet cards to help us. Rain was able to find the common words on the alphabet card and then copy down the modelled story for the unfamiliar words.  Rain wrote “Ivwent tothesnow.” - “I went to the snow”.

Evidence of learning

Rain was able to find the sight words on the alphabet card and record the modelled unfamiliar words, and illustrate his story.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Rain is developing his Capabilities in his writing. He was able to work by himself to record down the unfamiliar word from the modelled story (Managing Self). Rain is forming most of his letters correctly and is able to listen to the sounds they make when recording them (Using language, symbols and text). He was able to identify the sight words on the alphabet card (Thinking).

Next Learning Steps

Explicit teaching on correct use of lines in book (short, lowercase letters go to halfway line, Capital and tall lowercase letters go to the top line. Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card and writing them correctly. Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story. Encourage to think of owns ideas. Share learning with home.
