Other Work Samples for:

Ainsley has demonstrated a basic awareness of the features of a recount. Ideas have been appropriately sequenced and past tense has been used. Words indicating who, when and what have been used, and there is some correct use of sight words. Letters have been grouped into words with spaces between them, and correct directionality has been used. A good knowledge of letter-sound relationships has been demonstrated but Ainsley would benefit from including more information and using full stops and capital letters appropriately. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing below the expected standard at the end of Kindergarten.
