Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 18 June 2015

Learner:  Sanish     Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 18 June 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Sanish was reading, “I can Read”. Without pointing he read the titles and then said, “I can read to my mum”. There was no word “my” in the text. He then read the next two pages and inserted the word “my” in where there was no word “my”. He read the next page. This time there was a word my! The next page he looked at the picture, but needed help. I told him “to my teacher”. He then looked at the next page and read “I can read to my friend”. Then asked for confirmation that he had got it correct. He had. Sanish then read the last page.

Evidence of learning

Sanish was able to decode words by looking at the picture. I wonder if he does this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Sanish scored 3/24 on the Duncan Basic Word Assessment. He is developing his Capabilities in using picture cues to decode words. Sanish is still learning to match his finger to each word he says (Thinking). He is starting to decode more and more words (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Continue to teach on pointing to each word Explicit teaching on looking at the beginning of each unknown word and sounding it out. Share learning with home.
