Learner:  Fernanda and Sivkheng             Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 14 May 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today in this reading group we were focusing on the words “this, is, for”. Sivkheng was reading “Dinner” and Fernanda “The Presents”. They opened up to begin reading. I asked them to look at the picture and tell me what they see. Sivkheng said, “carrots”. I drew her attention to the goat and asked her what animal it was. She said, “goat”. I asked Fernanda who she thought the clown was she said, “a man”. I asked her what sort of man. She said, “a clown”. Sivkheng was able to point to each word as she read. She needed help saying the first word, “this”, but then was able to read the rest by herself “this is for a goat”. Sivkheng then turned the page and by herself read “this is for a pig”. Fernanda was also able to point to each word as she read. I supported her with reading “this is for a clown”. Sivkheng then went ahead while I was reading with other Learners and read all of the book correctly while finger pointing. She got stuck on the last page and then went back and re-read the book again. Fernanda was able to work out on the next page that it was a spy. We read together “this is for a spy”. On the next page she read, “this is for scarecrow”. I pointed to the “a” and corrected “this is for a scarecrow”. On the last page Sivkheng read “this is for a mu”. I said, “monster”.

Evidence of learning

Our favourite pages in our books. Both Learners are pointing to the words as they read. I wonder if they remember to do this at home.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

At the end of Term One on the Duncan Basic Sight word assessment Sivkheng scored 1/24 and Fernanda 0/24. Fernanda and Sivkheng are developing their Capabilities in Reading. Sivkheng was able to read ahead while waiting (Managing Self). Fernanda and Sivkheng are pointing to the words and they read (Thinking). Sivkheng and Fernanda are starting to read Basic sight words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Retest Duncan Basic Sight words. Continue explicit teaching of basic sight words Share Learning with home Sivkheng move to harder Magenta books - I wonder how she will go?
