Narrative Assessment - Writing

Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

As part of developing learners ability to write we are learning the shapes and symbols of the Casey the Caterpillar programme. During the programme the learners focus on developing their fine motor control and work towards accurate shape formation and position. As we have progressed with this learning Jenny has developed her ability to accurately form the shapes and is able to identify most shapes when asked. Since beginning she has extended the number of letters she is correctly forming and is able to accurately justify why she has chosen her best shape. Jenny has made great gains in formation and positioning, within the next few weeks we will begin to put the shapes together to form letters.
