Tristan's Literacy Learning Story

Learner: Tristan    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 2.6.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Handwriting

Learning Observed

Recently, a group of nine learners have been recruited into Mrs Dillner’s Handwriting Club. We have been working on proper letter formation, beginning with the letters that start with a ‘c’ shape. Tristan has shown that he is able to use the top, middle and bottom spaces on the line. His letters mostly follow the correct writing pattern, but he will need to work on using this consistently in his book. During this time, Tristan completed the task, but had to be prompted to continue and stay on track. He was instructed to leave a finger space between each letter and this will remain as one of his next learning goals in this area.

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Tristan showed that he was capable of using the lines and writing tidily on the whiteboard (Managing Self). He completed the ‘c’ and the ‘g’ well, making a connection between the ‘c’ shape and how it translates to other letters of the alphabet (Using Language, Symbols and Text).

Next Learning Steps

Use a finger space between each letter. Follow verbal instructions quickly. Practice keeping the letters smooth and sitting on the line when he writes in his book.
