Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 16 Mar 2016

Learner: Edward                  Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg          Date: 16 Mar 2016

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Edward completed a PM benchmark Reading Assessment with me. I decided to test him on the higher of the two Magenta books. Edward started off by looking at all the pictures . When reading, he finger pointed to each word. Once he learnt the pattern of the words in the book he was able to read with a natural rhythm, although did omit a couple of words.

Evidence of learning

When reading Edward was pointing to each word. I wonder if he remembers to do this at home with his reading?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Edward scored 86% for word accuracy and ¾ for comprehension. He is developing his Capabilities in Reading. Edward was able to hear the pattern of the book and continue it in his reading (Thinking). He is starting to recognise basic words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Ensure he reads every word he is finger pointing to. When reading a “tricky” word look at the beginning of it and have a try. Continue to learn as many high frequency words as possible (see the Learning Habitat website for these).
