AnonyMouse_4562 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 We have a few children in our setting at the moment who can tell you the letters in their names (the sounds). Some can then go onto attempt to write some of these letters, some making marks. My TA has put a couple of observations on and ticked 'beginning to hear initial sounds in words' but I'm not so sure this has been demonstrated with what the observations shows about the name writing. I think these children have learnt the letters in their name. What do you think this should come under? I would be more tempted to put them in 30-50 reading and writing as they have an awareness of print having a meaning and saying something consistently? Any thoughts?

Guest Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would be more tempted to put them in 30-50 reading and writing as they have an awareness of print having a meaning and saying something consistently? definitely not beginning to hear initial sounds. have just memorised initial letter sound for their name. i would agree with you and it also shows evidence of working towards Links sounds to letters, naming and sounding the letters of the alphabet (40-60 reading and writing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I had a similar observation happen for one of my new key children and I discussed it with my deputy manager, and we put reading 30-50 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
