Narrative Assessment - Writing - 9 Mar 2016


Learner:  Zivashtine                  Learning Coach:  Talia Morgan       Date: 9 Mar 2016
Learning Area: Literacy - Writing
Learning Observed
Today I modelled a story for the learners, with their help. I modelled a story about somewhere I had been in the past - “I went to ...”. Zivashtine went off to do independent writing and was able to write down the first two words in order and another word above, without any learning coach help and without an alphabet card. Zivashtine also illustrated her story with a beautiful picture. She was also able to write within the lines and record some other letters.
Evidence of learning
Zivashtine was able to write down some of our modelled story all by herself. What a huge improvement!
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Zivashtine is developing her Capabilities in her writing. She was able to work by herself to write some of our modelled story, without any learning coach help (Managing Self). Zivashtine is starting to form some of her letters correctly (Using language, symbols and text). She was able to Think about our modelled story and write some of it.  
Next Learning Steps
  • Explicit teaching on correct use of capital letters.
  • Explicit teaching on correct letter formation.
  • Explicit teaching on listening to how letters sound when recording them.
  • Continue to teach finding the basic words on the word card.
  • Continue to teach finding the sounds of initial letters on the word card to record for a story.
  • Share learning with home.
