Today in Reading we were focusing on the basic words “look” and “at”. Harman, Ethan and James were all able to read the words without prompting when I read them out.
Ethan was reading “The Animal Show”, James “My Hat” and Harman “Fishing”
James was able to point to each word as we read together “Look at my hat”.
Harman started to read she said, “I…” and then got stuck on the word “have”. I prompted her and she was able to read the rest with no support “... a fish. Look at my fish” and finger point to each word.
Ethan pointed to each word and read, “look at my toes, said rabbit”. I said “look at my…” and pointed to the rabbit in the picture and traced my fingers over his large ears. Ethan said, “ears!” “Look at my ears, said rabbit”.
On the next page James read, “look at my hat, look at…” I prompted him with “your” and he re-read “look at your hat”.
Harman read with support “oh no”. The she confidently read, “I…” She looked at me for the next word. I said “have. She read, “have a …” Ethan said, “rock”. Harman read, “I have a rock.”
On Ethan’s next page he said, “Look at my mouth said bird”. I pointed at the word beak and said, “beak” and pointed to the picture. Ethan read again “look at my mouth said bird.”

Our favourite pages in our books!
  
The Learners are starting to read confidently by themselves. I wonder how many more basic sight words they know now?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
On the Duncan Basic word test at the end of Term 1 James scored 3/24, Ethan 3/24 and Harman 3/24. Ethan, Harman and James are developing their Capabilities in Reading. Harman, James and Ethan have shown that they are looking at the picture to try to work out the text (Thinking). James, Ethan and Harman are starting to read many basic sight words (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).

Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 12 May 2015

Learning Observed

During Reading as a group we looked at the basic words we already knew. I wrote the word “I” on the small whiteboard. After we had looked at some more basic words we all started to read our books. James, Jolin and Raymond needed guidance to put their fingers under the first word of their stories. Jolin recognised that she had “I” as the first word in her story. Jolin, James and Raymond read their first and second sentences along with me pointing to the words. They had to look at the pictures for clues of what words might be on the page. They then read the rest of their books to themselves.

This group was learning to put their fingers underneath the words as they were reading. I wonder if they remember to do this at home when reading?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles
|
These Learners have completed a Letter Identification Assessment just after they started at Ormiston James (48), Jolin (51) and Raymond (0). They have all showing that they are being Curious about their books by looking at the pictures to help them understand the words. The Learners are developing their Capabilities in Reading (Using Language, Symbols and Texts). The Learners are also starting to make connections between basic sight words they know and what is printed in their books (Thinking).
