Handwriting Narrative Assessment

Learner: Harman                     Learning Coach: Mr Hattie             Date: 12 October 2015

Learning Area: Learning Habitat 2 - Handwriting

Learning Observed

For literacy we have been focusing on handwriting every thursday. This was because we saw many learners struggling with writing or complaining about sore hands while writing. This can affect the amount of writing they are doing which could have an impact on their achievement in writing.  We were using the Casey the Caterpillar Handwriting Shapes to help the learner remember the correct formation. This has made some improvements to the amount the learners are writing as they are writing me fluidly. Harman has been writing her letters to small and it was hard to read some of the time. Now with this practice she is starting to use the correct sizing of her letters. She was excited to see how neat her writing was.
