Narrative Assessment - 3 August 2015 - Literacy

Learner: Scarlett     Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg       Date: 3 August 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Scarlett was writing with me. She wanted to write “My cousins went at my house.” She was able to find “my” on the table tent card. She then sounded out “cousins”. Scarlett said she could hear a “k” sound so she wrote that down. Next she found “went” on the table tent card. She wrote down “a” for “at” and “my”. Then we sounded out house together. She said she could hear a “h” and an “e”. So she wrote those down too. I then talked about how it sounded better to say “my cousins went TO my house.” So we changed the “at” to “to”.

Evidence of learning

Scarlett was able to find words on the table tent and hear the beginning sounds of the “tricky” words. I wonder if she is writing at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Scarlett is developing her Capabilities in Writing. She is making Connections between the sounds she hears and the letters she uses to record the sounds. Scarlett was able to come up with a story and record down the sounds for it (Thinking). She was able to work consistently at a task (Managing Self). Scarlett was recording many words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to explicitly teach sounding out words and writing them down Continue to explicitly teach finding words on table tent cards Write a two sentence story.
