Narrative Assessment - Writing - 23 Feb 2016

Learner: Fanxi             Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg     Date: 23 Feb 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today Fanxi was writing with me as part of his Guided Writing session.  He started off drawing his brainstorm picture. Then I asked him to begin to write his story. He wanted to write “I look at movies”. Fanxi was able to write “I” by himself and then he asked me “how do I write ‘look’”. I said, “l, l, l” and we looked at the word card. Fanxi pointed to the leaf picture and said ‘leaf”. He then wrote it down we then proceeded similarly with the rest of the word. Next we sounded out “at” and he wrote that down. Lastly we sounded out “movies” and Fanxi recorded down the sounds he could hear. Finally I ask him what he needed to put in at the end of his sentence and he put in a full stop.

Evidence of learning

Fanxi was able to write many sounds in his story. I wonder if he has practiced his writing in the holidays?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Fanxi is working on his Capabilities in Writing. He was able to begin his brainstorm by himself (Managing Self). Fanxi could think of a story by himself and start to write it down. He is developing his skills in forming letters (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

-        Continue to explicitly teach putting in finger spaces in between each word. -        Continue to teach finding words on the word card and letters. -        Share learning with home.
