Assessment Task 2

Literacy plan

Details

 In this assignment we want you to develop your 'teacher eyes' by focusing on a young literacy learner.

  • It requires you to assess a child using a book.

  • Choose a specific literacy content area;

  • Assess a child between the ages of one to ten years old on this literacy content area using more than one literacy assessment tool

  • Identify a specific long-term literacy goal for the child

  • Craft an individualised literacy plan containing a specific activity to support the child in meeting the literacy goal

  • Write a specific literacy performance objective detailing what/when/where/how one will gather information on the child's literacy progress

First

First you need to find a child.

Then, consider assessment tools that you will use base on the Focus Area you have chosen (Reading/Viewing or Writing or Speak/Listening)

You must use as one of your assessment tools a children's picture book; use other assessment tool to find out more information about the child's PLOP

Choose a children’s picture book and think about how you might read this with the child.

Consider what kinds of questions you might ask and where you might stop to discuss things such as the characters, story and/or pictures.

Think about how you might get the child interested in the book and how you might make connections to what they already know and have experienced.

Next

Next you need to Assess a child within your chosen Literacy Content Area taking into account that you want to find out what their Present Level of Performance is.

You use a book as one of your assessment tools.

After reading, talk with the child about the book and more generally about the things they like reading and/or have read to them.

Make notes about what you have learned about this young child. For example, what do they know about reading? How do they use reading? What do they like to read?

Then

Finally think about what you have learned about this young child and how it might inform the way you plan for them in a more formal setting such as a daycare setting, preschool or school.

Then

Write up

When writing up your assignment it needs to be divided into three distinct parts and connections to the various ideas/readings in this unit need to be made where appropriate.

You can put your work in a Padlet, website, or Word document. If you use a Padlet or Website, please only upload your weblink to Moodle within the Online text area, making certain your name is within your web content

Part One

Justification -

(approximately - 400 words)

  • Justify & describe the assessment tools you have chosen (which includes your chosen book)
  • Talk about your intended plan to assess a child's in at least one of the Focus Areas (1) Reading/Viewing, (2) Writing, (3) Speaking/Listening
  • How will you ascertain the child's PLOP within your chosen Focus Area via reading a book, formal assessment tools and informal assessments like observation, open-ending talking/interviews? These assessment can be ones from class or from ones you have personal sourced.

Part Two

Profile your literacy learner –

(approximately - 1200 words)

In this section tell us what you found out about your literacy learner. What data did you get/find regarding the child's PLOP in your chosen Literacy Focus Area?

Also consider: What interests do they have?  What kinds of things do they like to read or have read to them?; How do they use reading and/or literacy outside of school?; How do they use language when they talk to you?; What do they already know about reading?; What can they do? *Make connections to the ideas/required readings in this unit where appropriate.

Completed Assessment tools can be put in an appendix

Part Three

Plan for your literacy learner - (approximately 900 words)

In this section you need to tell us what your plan is:

  • Based on what your data, what Goal/Literacy Objectives to your have for the child?
  • What would be important to teach this literacy learner in a formal setting such as a daycare centre, preschool or school?;
  • What kinds of resources would be useful for this learner?; What might be effective ways to work with this learner?;
