Vivian's Literacy Learning Story

Learner: Cassandra & Vivian    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 2.6.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Handwriting

Learning Observed

Recently, learners in Mrs Dillner’s Literacy group have been working on proper letter formation, beginning with the letters that start with a ‘c’ shape. Cassandra & Vivian have shown that they are able to use the top, middle and bottom spaces on the line. Their letters mostly follow the correct writing pattern, but they will need to work on using this consistently in their books. While completing this task, each of these girls tried their best and worked quickly and efficiently.

Evidence of learning

Cassandra and Vivian also worked with Hannah and Komal.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Cassandra and Vivian both showed their capability of using the correct way of writing ‘c’ start letters on a lined white board. They listened to the instructions and applied them to their own learning (Managing Self). Both girls wrote tidily and began showing that they were ready to move to the next step in this area - adding flicks to their letters. They identified this themselves which demonstrates they can connect where they are now to where they need to be.

Next Learning Steps

Show the same care and correct formation in all written work regardless of the book or sheet they are writing on. Use smaller lines in their books and demonstrate the same ability to use the top, middle and bottom space.
