Jiani's Reading Learning Story

Learner: Jiani Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 2.3.16

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading           Key Competency: Using Language, Symbols and Text

Learning Observed

Jiani’s group had been learning about identifying the characters and writing about why that was so. Jiani followed the instructions and prompts, successfully identifying who her favourite character was and recording this in writing. She showed a developing curiosity in the text by outlining why that character was her favourite and can work on adding more detail to this in the future. Jiani was capable of completing this in the given time frame and used her time well which is a positive outcome for her.

Be more precise in explaining ideas e.g. ‘the little monster said what is it’ - what does ‘it’ refer to? Get a Learning Book so this learning will be permanently kept.

Learning Observed

Today I read “I am a Painter” with Jiani. She read the cover “I am a…” Then looked at me to tell her what it was. I told her to look at the paint and said “painter”. We turned to the first part of the story. She read, “I am a…” Again I asked her to look at the picture. I said, “teacher”. She read, “I am a teacher”. She was able to read “I am a doctor”. Then the next page had a nurse on it. She said, “I am a…” I said, “n..n...n” She said, “Nurse”. Jiani was able to read the last page, “I am a driver”.

Evidence of learning

Jiani was able to read “I, am, a”. I wonder what other basic sight words Jiani knows?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Jiani is looking at the pictures to help her work out what the words might mean (Thinking). She is starting to make meaning out of the text (Using Language, Symbols and Text).
