Narrative Assessment - Writing

Learner: Tavleen                    Learning Coach: Abby Morgan              Date: 19 May 2015

Learning Area: Literacy

Learning Observed

As part of developing learners ability to write we are learning the shapes and symbols of the Casey the Caterpillar programme. During the programme the learners focus on developing their fine motor control and work towards accurate shape formation and position. As we have progressed with this learning Tavleen has developed her ability to accurately form the shapes and is able to identify most shapes when asked. Since beginning Tavleen has extended the number of letters she is correctly forming and is able to accurately justify why she has chosen her best shape. Tavleen has made great gains in formation and positioning.

Evidence of learning

Tavleen is showing great progress with her symbol formation.
