Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Johnny was reading “The Monster Town”. We opened up to the first page and I asked Johnny to put his finger under the first word. He put it on the word so i moved it to underneath the word. I then read the words and moved his finger along pointing to each word as I said it, “this is the school”. We turned the page. Johnny was able to read “this” by himself but then needed me to read the rest of the words. He was unable, when asked, to work out that the picture was of a pool. “This is the pool”. We turned the page and I asked him what he thought this was. He was unable to come up with the word, “park”. I read with him echoing some of the words while he pointed to the words, “this is the park”. The rest of the book continued as above.

Evidence of learning

Johnny is starting to point to some of the words. I wonder if he points to the words at home when he reads his book?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny scored 0/24 on the Duncan Basic Word Assessment. He is developing his Capabilities in Reading. Johnny is learning to remember the repeating pattern of the words he reads on each page (Thinking). He is learning to read many words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Develop Johnny’s English Vocabulary Continue to teach pointing to each word he reads Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 2 June 2015

Learner: Johnny        Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 2 June 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

Today we were practising counting to 10. We first started by counting together. Next the Learner had to get 10 objects from the box. Johnny was in charge of counting the bananas. He grabbed a pile of bananas and was unable to use one to one counting to count them. I put 10 in front of him to then count. Johnny lined them up then counted 1, 3, 4, see, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3. Next the Learners rolled a 12 sided die and the Learners had to say the numeral that appeared on it. Johnny was able to recognise numbers 1, 2 and 3, but said the number 5 was a 2.

Evidence of learning

Johnny is learning to one to one count. I wonder if he practises counting at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Johnny is developing his Capabilities in one to one counting. He is learning to sequence the numbers in his head in order to say them in the correct order (Thinking). Johnny is starting to recognise numerals (Using Language, Symbols and Texts)

Next Learning Steps

Teaching of the correct number sequence to 10 Explicit teaching of the names of each written numeral Share learning with home.
