Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 18 June 2015

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

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Ashvir was reading “The Present”. He opened the book and did not know the first word.  I read with with him, while he pointed to the words,  “This is for a…” Ashvir looked at the picture and saw a clown. He then said, “clown”. We turned the page. Ashvir needed help with the first word again, but then could remember that the rest said “is for a…” He looked at the picture and said “queen”. I said yes he does have long hair, but it is actually a king. “This is for a king”.

Evidence of learning

Ashvir is starting to point to the words as he reads. I wonder if he does this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ashvir scored 0/24 on the Duncan Basic Word Assessment. He is developing his Capabilities in reading. Ashvir is able to work out where to place his finger when reading (Thinking). He is starting to read the texts independently (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - Numeracy

Learner: Nicholas and Ashvir    Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg       Date:  11 May 2015

Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy

Learning Observed

I gave each boy 10 pieces of fruit and asked them to count each piece of fruit. Nicholas and Ashvir both counted out to 10. I then added 2 more and asked them again to count. Ashvir was able to count to 12. Nicholas counted 10, 11, 8. Next I put the numerals 1-10 in order in front of them. I asked them to point to number “4”. Ashvir was able to point to number four. Nicholas followed Ashvir and pointed with him at number 4. Then I asked them to point to number 8. They both looked at me. Nicholas pointed to number 6 and Ashvir followed Nicholas’ finger and pointed to number 6 as well. I repeated more numbers and Ashvir was able to identify numerals 1-5, however Nicholas was unable to recognise any numerals.

Evidence of learning

Ashvir was able to recognise the numerals 1-5. Nicholas was not able to recognise any numerals. I wonder if after today they will have remembered more numerals for next time?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Nicholas and Ashvir are continuing to develop their Capabilities in Numeral knowledge and one-to-one counting. They are sequencing numbers in their head (Thinking). Ashvir and Nicholas are learning how to read numerals (Using Language, Symbols and Texts)
