Narrative Assessment - Literacy Writing

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

As part of developing learners ability to write we are learning the shapes and symbols of the Casey the Caterpillar programme. During the programme the learners focus on developing their fine motor control and work towards accurate shape formation and position. As we have progressed with this learning Riley has strengthened his fine motor skills and developed his ability to accurately form the shapes. Riley is able to recall the shapes when asked and has extended the number of letters he is correctly forming.

Evidence of learning

Riley is able to recognise the symbols he is accurately forming and can correct errors.
