Narrative Assessment - 16 Oct 2015 - Reading


Learner:  Riley and Simeon               Learning Coach: Mr Hattie             Date: 16 October 2015
Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Reading
Learning Observed
During the reading session today I was roaming around the habitat to see all the reading activities the learners were doing. I cam across Riley with a small group of learners around him. He was reading a book to them like he was the learning coach. He was putting on voices and all the learners were listening. This is great to see as Oral reading is good for fluency and expression. When Riley had finished Simeon was asking questions about why the tiger had done what had done and Riley was explaining it for him. This is awesome to see as questioning is a big part of comprehension. This is the sort of learning that we like to see in habitat two. It is self directed and enjoyable for them.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
The Key Competencies that are being used during this session is “Thinking” as Riley was thinking about what different voices are needed for each character. Simeon was thinking about the different questions that he was wanting to find out about. Collaboration is being used as the learners were collaborating during it. Capabilities are being used the learners were showing their capabilities in reading and questioning.
Next Learning Steps
Riley and Simeon’s next learning steps are:
  • to identify the text specific words.
  • answer inference questions about a text.

Riley showed a great strategy for solving the different problems. I wonder if he is practising this with Mathletics?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Riley is developing his Capabilities in Mathematics. He is using many different problems solving strategies to figure out the questions (Thinking). Riley is able to read and process the questions (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
Next Learning Steps
  • Explicitly teach how to use an additive strategy to solve Proportions and Ratio questions
  • Explicitly teach how to use multiplicative strategies to solve Multiplication and Division questions
  • Share Learning with home.
