Narrative Assessment - Mathematics - 22 June 2015


Learner:  Jessica L     Learning Coach:  Miriam Kamsteeg            Date: 22 June 2015
Learning Area: Mathematics - Numeracy
Learning Observed
Today in Mathematics we were practising counting to 13. First as a group we counted together to 13. Jessica counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10, 11, 12, 15. I corrected her with 11, 12, 13. Next the Learners had to get 13 animals from the box, then count them to me. Jessica counted her animals to me. She again said 15 instead of 13. Jessica also had got 14 animals.

Jessica was able to count up to 12. I wonder if she practises counting past 12 at home?
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Jessica is working on developing her Capabilities in counting. She was sequencing numbers in her head when counting (Thinking). Jessica was able to follow instructions and get the animals and count them (Managing Self).
Next Learning Steps
  • Continue to teach counting to 13.
  • Explicit teaching of reading numbers to 20.
  • Share learning with home.

Narrative Assessment - Literacy - 18 June 2015


Learner: Jessica L     Learning Coach: Miriam Kamsteeg              Date: 18 June 2015
Learning Area: Literacy - Reading
Learning Observed
Today Jessica was reading “The Monster Town”. Jessica was able to point to the words while I read, “This is the school”. We turned the page. Jessica read without finger pointing “this is the swimming pool”. Jessica had looked at the picture. I pointed at the word pool and said “this is the pool”. I reminded her to finger point and she was able to point and read “this is the zoo”.

Jessica is starting to point to the words as she reads. I wonder if she does this at home?

Jessica scored 1/24 on the Duncan Basic Word Assessment. She is developing her Capabilities in reading. Jessica is able to work out where to place her finger when reading (Thinking). She is starting to read the texts independently (Using Language, Symbols and Texts).
Next Learning Steps
  • More teaching on basic sight words
  • Continue to encourage finger pointing to the words
