Learner: Datar                 Learning Coach: Abby Morgan            Date: 5 March 2015

Learning Area: Literacy

Learning Observed

After completing his reading today Datar choose to complete the CVC word activity. This task requires Learners to sound out words to identify the missing letter. I observed Datar carefully sounding out the words to identify the missing sounds and then finding the correct letter to place on the card. Datar was correctly able to identify the missing letter of 2 words before packing up.

Evidence of learning

Datar self-selected this activity and enjoyed completing it.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Datar achieved 52 out of 54 on the Letter Recognition Assessment and achieved 4 years 11 months on the Oral Language Assessment. Datar was practicing a skill he already is capable of to enhance his understanding and develop his ability to hear the sounds in words. He was also applying Key Competencies of Thinking, Using Language, Symbols, and Texts, and Managing Self. Datar was using active Thinking skills to assist in recalling and recognising the sounds heard as well as applying his existing knowledge of Language, Symbols and Texts. This activity was Learner directed and self chosen displaying his ability to Manage Self.
