Narrative Assessment - iExplore - 12 May 2016


Learner:  Elham         Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2            Date:   12 May 2016
Learning Area:  iExplore
Learning Observed
Today the Learners had an opportunity to use the ‘Zoom Tool’ during iExplore to create shapes and objects.   Elham watched other Learners, then took a few sticks and balls.  She had to look at the ball to find the correct gap shape in which to attach the blue stick to.  Elham was pleased with her diamond shape and was able to describe its features, e.g. how many sides.

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
