Narrative Assessment - Writing - 10 Mar 2016

Learner:  Maya                  Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 10 Mar 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I invited the learners to write a story about they had been in the past. We modelled writing “I went to ...” 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 action we liked doing by writing down the letter sounds we can hear, using the alphabet cards. Maya sounded out some of the main letter sounds she could hear. Maya wrote “I went ot RNWSD” - “I went to Rainbowsend”.

Evidence of learning

Maya was able to record the main letter sounds she could hear in Rainbowsend. Good sounding out Maya.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Maya is developing her Capabilities in her writing. She was able to work by herself to sound out the main letter sounds she could hear in the unfamiliar word (Managing Self). Maya 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.

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.
