Learning Area: Literacy

Learning Observed

Today after Ekamjot had completed her writing she asked if she could share it with me. Together we sat as she read me her story. I observed how Ekamjot had listened to the sounds she could hear in the words and had attempted them even when she wasn’t sure. She was displaying her ability to hear the dominant sounds in the words and had correctly begun her sentence with a capital letter and ended it with a full stop. Ekamjot and I talked about what she could do next to help with her writing. Together we identified that a focus was needed on letter size. I asked if she would like to practice some letters until packing up time, to which she eagerly replied ‘Yes!’. Together we discussed which letters she needed most practice of and I wrote them in green to help guide her.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ekamjot scored 52 out of 54 in a recent Letter Recognition Assessment and achieved 6 years 1 month in an Oral Language Assessment. During our writing time she was displaying her ability to recognise her need to further develop her capabilities as well as making connections with the Key Competencies of Using Languages, Symbols and Texts.

Next Learning Steps

Extend use of capital letters and full stops. Develop knowledge of High Frequency Words. Practice letter formation. Share learning with family. Introduce to PuppetPals or Sock Puppets applications for story creation.
