Narrative Assessment - 23 July 2015 - Literacy

Learner: Tavleen          Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg        Date: 23 July 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

This week I have been writing “I went to the ….” stories with the Learners before sending them off to write. The Learners work together to use the table tent cards to find the words they want to write. Then for the “tricky” words we sound them out and write down all the sounds we can here. Today I was working with Tavleen on her story. She did not know what to write about. I asked her if she could write a story about “I went to the movies? shop? my friend’s house?” but she said she did not know. Then I said that well she must have gone to her house. So we settled on a story of “I went to my home”. Tavleen was able to use the table tent cards to find all the basic words. Then when she came to “home”. She said that she didn’t know. I said what does it start with and sounded it out “h….o…..me”. She was able to write down “hom”.

Evidence of learning

Tavleen is starting to sound out tricky words. I wonder if she is practising writing at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Tavleen is developing her Capabilities in Writing. She is starting to be able to record down words and letters independently (Managing Self). Tavleen had decided what she wanted to write about before she started (Thinking). She is beginning to write stories (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Developing her confidence in writing Continue to use the table tent to find words/ sounds Continue to explicitly teach sounding out words Share learning with home.
