Learning Area: Literacy - Writing

Learning Observed

Today I modelled a story for the learners, with their help. I modelled a story about somewhere I had been in the past - “I went to ...”. Scarlett and a group worked with me and Scarlett was able to write down “I went to” using the alphabet card, without any learning coach help. Scarlett was able to record the main letter sounds she could hear in Rainbowsend. Scarlett wrote “I Went to RnBWZnD” - “I went to Rainbowsend”. Scarlett also illustrated her story with a beautiful, detailed picture of our school. She was also able to write within the lines.
