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).

Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 12 Feb 2016


Learner: Edward                   Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg        Date: 12 Feb 2016
Learning Area: Mathematics
Learning Observed
Today Edward was struggling to choose a Maths learning game. I showed him the dominoes and taught him a matching game to play. We sat together and matched the dominoes in a wonky line. He then helped Nicholas to match the dominoes too.

Edward was able to match the dominoes together. I wonder if he will be able to teach other learners next time how to do this game?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Edward is developing his Capabilities in Mathematics. He was able to settle and play the game (Managing Self). Edward had to recognise the patterns on the dominos he was matching (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
Next Learning Steps
  • Continue to play this game at other Math times and teach other learners how to play it
  • Once this game is consolidated learn other domino games
  • Share learning with home.
