Learning Observed

During iDevelop Sivkheng has been learning that oral, written and visual texts can connect together.  Sivkheng has done this over the course of a week by reading the pictures, reading the words and listening to the story being read.  The story chosen was Greedy Cat, by Joy Cowley. Firstly Sivkheng helped her hapu group to predict and tell the story using only the pictures in the book.  Sivkheng was able to predict with ease and draw appropriate conclusions. Next she listened to the story being read to her and was showing her understanding by following along. After this Sivkheng was able to read the story aloud, showing her understanding of what she had read. Sivkheng showed her complete understanding of connecting the text orally, visually and in writing through her follow up activity where she drew a picture of Greedy Cat, wrote a sentence of what she thought Greedy Cat would eat out of her shopping bag and then shared her version of the story with others.
