Narrative Assessment - Reading - 4 March

Learner:  Austin                 Learning Coach:   Megan Croll               Date:  4 March 2016

Learning Area:   Reading

Learning Observed

Austin has been reading with greater confidence and fluency over the past three weeks.  He has been able to talk about what he has read and answer both literal and most inferential questions.   Austin appears to enjoy reading and asks for support to read unknown words.   I felt that Austin was ready for a reading test (Running Record), to see if ‘Red’ levelled books would be more suitable for guided reading.

Evidence of learning

http://www.fotobabble.com/m/TGJCWkNwcDIyVjg9 Austin read an unseen text titled “Same and Little Bear“.   He scored 95% accuracy with 5 errors and 3 self corrections.  Click on the above link to hear how well Austin is reading, or scroll down to the bottom of this post and click on the ‘play’ arrow.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Austin used his knowledge of letter sounds to sound out unknown words (Using Language, Symbols and Text). He had to stop and think when the meaning of the story was not clear.  Austin demonstrated a capability to use decoding strategies when faced with challenging parts of an unfamiliar text.

Next Learning Steps

Think about what he is reading and reread when the meaning doesn’t make sense Correctly identify the letter and sound for ‘b’ and ‘d’ Regularly ‘read to’ and ‘read with’ at home
