Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I was writing with Riley. He had decided that his story was going to be “I am learning about taking the pen for a walk”. He started by writing “Iaml”. I stopped him and said that he hand to put a finger space in between each word so we could easily see where one word started and stopped. We also discussed how it was not drawing a picture of a finger but putting our finger on the page to make a gap and then write the next word. He then continued to sound out all the words and write down all the sounds he could hear in the words.

Evidence of learning

Riley is writing down many sounds he is hearing in his words. I wonder if he is practising writing at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Riley is developing his Capabilities in Writing. He is able to record down words, sounds and letters independently (Managing Self). He had decided what he wanted to write about before she started (Thinking). He is beginning to write stories (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps
