Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I was working with Marcus during Writing time. Marcus decided that he wanted to say “I am going to the beach”. He was able to find “I am” on the table tent card. Then he wanted to write “going”.He said “o”. I said, “yes but what comes right at the start? g g g” and another child yelled, “g” so Marcus wrote down g. He then wrote down the rest of the words and sounded out beach and recorded that down too.

Evidence of learning

Marcus is starting to write down many sounds in his writing. I wonder if he is practising this at home?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Marcus is developing his Capabilities in Writing. He is starting to be able to record down words and letters independently (Managing Self). Marcus had decided what he wanted to write about before he started (Thinking). He is beginning to write stories (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Next Learning Steps

Developing his confidence in writing Continue to use the table tent to find words/ sounds Continue to explicitly teach sounding out words Share learning with home.
