Other Work Samples for:
Terry has demonstrated a good understanding of the procedure text type. Commands have been used and the steps have been correctly sequenced using pictures and written text. Good directionality is evident. Capital letters and full stops have been used appropriately to begin and end sentences. Some letters have been correctly formed but there is confusion in the use of the letters ‘w’ and ‘y’, and some inappropriate use of capital letters mid-sentence. A variety of spelling strategies have been used but there is minimal use of sight words. To develop further, Terry should work on letter formation and increase the use of sight words. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing above the expected standard midway through Kindergarten.
Foundation Statement strands
The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Writing
Students write with an increasing awareness of the nature, purpose and conventions of written language. They produce simple texts that demonstrate an awareness of the basic grammar and punctuation needed. Students know and use letters and sounds of the alphabet to attempt to spell known words and use most lower and upper case letters appropriately to construct sentences. Students explore the use of computer technology to construct texts.
