Narrative Assessment - 12 Aug 2015 - Literacy

Learner: Nima        Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 12 Aug 2015

Learning Area: Literacy - Reading

Learning Observed

Today Nima completed a Reading Assessment on Gold Level 21 with me. He read “Akito’s Glasses” to me with accuracy. After the reading I asked him to retell the main events. He started with what happened at the end of the story, then read a few phrases out of the text. Next I asked him some comprehension questions. He was only able to answer one out of the six correctly.

Evidence of learning

Nima was able to accurately read the text. I wonder if he has been practising reading difficult words at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Nima is developing his reading Capabilities. He is looking at the letters he reads and is able to transfer what he sees into the correct sounds (Thinking). Nima is reading with accuracy and now needs to develop his comprehension (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

To read with expression To retell the main events of a story Explicit teaching over understanding the Literal and Inferential meanings of a text Explicit teaching around using prior knowledge to create a deeper understanding of the text
