what i learnt about.

Learner:  Svikheng Lim    Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni       Date:27th February, 2015

Learning Area: Literacy- Writing

Learning Observed

Svikheng came to my writing workshop today. We were learning to use the alphabet and word cards to help us with our story writing. Svikheng was able to find the word ‘my’ using the first sound e.g. I asked her “Can you find a word in the yellow box that starts with m?” She was able to locate and copy the word onto a whiteboard and practice writing it with her eyes closed. She could then create and write a sentence using the word ‘my’. She created the sentence “my. mom. is. patn.” (My mum is painting.)

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Svikheng started her first year of school at Ormiston Primary. On the McCarthy and Kirk Assessment of Oral Language she scored  2 years 10 months and 47/ 54 for the Letter Identification assessment. Svikheng is building her capability in Using Language, symbols and text. She has demonstrated her ability to use the word card to help her spell words as well as her knowledge in sounding out words e.g. ‘patn’ for ‘painting’

Next Learning Steps

Continue to use the alphabet and word cards to support her writing independently Practice using a finger space between words instead of full stops Build her high frequency word knowledge through flash cards, reading and writing activities
