Narrative Assessment - iDevelop - 25 May 2016


Learner:  Kaka          Learning Coach:   Megan Croll                        Date:   25 May 2016
Learning Area:  iDevelop
Learning Observed
We have a range of learning activities to help with literacy skills that the Learners can do during their independent learning time.   Kaka had chosen the ‘Peg the ABCs’ activity from the Daily 5 wall of photos and was in the process of setting up his learning when Waleed asked me what he could do.   I introduced Waleed to Kaka and suggested that the two of them complete the activity together.

Kaka and Waleed were able to match the ‘letter’ pegs with the corresponding letter on the tape.  
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Kaka and Waleed were able to work Collaboratively together to put the correct peg with the letter.   They had to think about their choices and sometimes made corrections when they realised that they had ‘pegged’ the wrong letter.  

The boys were Using Language, Symbols and Text  by using specific letters appropriately and showed that they were Capable of Managing Self to complete the activity by themself and put all the materials away then they had finished with them.
Next Learning Steps
  • Show another Learner how to use the activity
  • Write the letters to practise correct size and shape
  • Look for other ABC activities to help learn the alphabet

Narrative Assessment - 11th May 2016


Learners: Elham, Raymond, Kaka, Wilson, Darius, Vicky, Zivashtine, and Angelina    

Learning Coach: Stephanie Hooker          Date: 11 May 2016
Learning Area: iDevelop
Learning Observed
Today during iDevelop our reading group worked together to recognise high frequency words in order to play Word Bingo. Learning these words develops reading skills and enables them to read books with confidence.

I wonder if they can play this game independently? Do they practice finding high frequency words in their reading books at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
These learners worked together Collaboratively. Each learner showed skills in Participating and Contributing to share their knowledge with each other. They also showed their Capability in using Language, Symbols and Text.
Next Learning Steps
  • Practice high frequency words at home (Please use the Magenta Word List on our Learning Habitat website)
  • Continue to identify and read many known words, both in isolation and in books and other places
  • Use these skills on a daily basis to increase reading capability
