Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 18 June 2015

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

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Nicole was reading “I can Read” today. She was able to point to words as she was reading. She read “ I can read to my mum”. Nicole floated her finger over the words she she did not realise that there was no word “my” in the text. She did the same on the next page with “I can read to dad”. She turned the page and said, “I can read to nnnn”. I said, “to Nana”. Next she said, “I can read to… - I don’t know this”. I said, “I can read to my sister”. She then read the text, “I can read to my sister”. Nicole read “I can read to my teacher”. She looked hard at the next picture and said that she didn’t know it. I said, “I can read to my friend”. She repeated it after me. She then turned to the last page and read, “I can read to myself”.

Evidence of learning

Nicole is able to look at the picture to decode what the word might say. I wonder if she practises this at home when she reads?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Nicole scored 1/24 on the Duncan Word test. She is developing her Capabilities in dusing picture cues. Nicole is starting to match her finger up to the word she says (Thinking). She is reading many words in the story (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
