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?
