Narrative Assessment - Reading - 29 August 2016



Learner:  Elham     Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2             Date:   29 August 2016
Learning Area:  Reading
Learning Observed
Elham has been learning to recognise more high frequency words from the Magenta reading series.  Today she was reading a book that used the high frequency words ‘I’, ‘am’ and ‘a. Elham used the pictures in the story to help with decoding unfamiliar words, e.g. digging, cooking. She was able to find and say several high frequency words, e.g. 'I', 'am and 'a'.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Elham is increasing her capabilities to read some sight words with greater independency.  She is using pictures and initial letters to try and decode unfamiliar words (Using Language, Symbols and Text).  
Next Learning Steps
  • Reread this story to a buddy and parent
  • Learn more high frequency words, both at school and home
  • Play word games during Daily 5

Narrative Assessment - Maths - 28 July 2016


Learner:  Elham        Learning Coach:   Megan Croll - LH2             Date:   28 July 2016
Learning Area:  Maths
Learning Observed
Today during iDevelop, a group of Learners were using materials to explore place value of tens and ones.   

I asked Elham to find out how many ‘ones’ cubes she would need to make a ‘ten’.  This understanding is important as it will support her thinking when she begins to add numbers in which the total is greater than its place value, e.g. 7+6 = one ten and 3 ones.

Elham was then asked to count out the number of ‘ones’ cubes and ‘tens’ sticks to make a given number.   She needed support to understand that each cube had a value of one.

Elham carefully gathered the materials that she needed to make the number 57
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
During this learning, Elham demonstrated that she was:
  • Connected -  listening to the learning conversations and showing that she understood how the shape of each piece represented a number, with support
  • Capable - beginning to understand place value and correcting her original answer by making adjustments to the number of cubes that she used
  • Thinking about the question and task, then proceeding to gather the cubes and sticks that she required
  • Using Language, Symbols and Text  - using two digit numbers
  • Managing Self  - able to use the equipment appropriately and remain on task until she had completed it
Next Learning Steps
  • Use the equipment independently to make more two digit numbers
  • Teach someone else to use the place value equipment
  • Use the ‘hundreds’ square to make a three digit number
