Narrative Assessment - Reading - 2 March 2016

Learner:  Evie                 Learning Coach:   Megan Croll                    Date: 2 March 2016

Learning Area:   Reading

Learning Observed

Evie has been reading with confidence and fluency over the past three weeks.  She has been able to talk about what she has read and answer both literal and inferential questions.   Evie appears to enjoy reading and likes to help others decode tricky words.   I felt that Evie was ready for a reading test (Running Record), to see if ‘Green’ levelled books would be more suitable for guided reading.

Evidence of learning

http://www.fotobabble.com/m/SDI4YXdsQ0RQdjA9 Evie read an unseen text titled “The Best Runner “.   She scored 92% accuracy with 13 errors and 1 self correction.  Click on the above link to hear how well Evie is reading, or scroll down to the bottom of this post and click on the ‘play’ arrow.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

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

Next Learning Steps

Think about what she is reading and reread when the meaning doesn’t make sense Understand the sound for vowel blends, e.g. ‘ee’, ‘ea’  and ‘oa’ Regularly ‘read to’ and ‘read with’ at home
