COMMENTS: English - Writing (3) 1=#E has tried hard to master the basics of sentence punctuation, though #e tends to write slowly, and sometimes does not finish #h work in the time available. At times, #e will lack control over #h handwriting and this means #h letter formation is poor. 2=#N's handwriting is more controlled, and #e makes a good attempt to spell simple words correctly. #E writes in basic, often short, sentences. Longer sentences with more detail should be #N's aim next year. 3=#H imaginative work has some good ideas but #e needs to develop #h vocabulary. 4=#H handwriting is gradually improving and #e generally presents #h work well. Though #e will need further practise joining letters. 5=#N's handwriting has improved though it is still over-large and uncontrolled at times. 6=#N's handwriting has improved, but #e must join more. 7=#H stories show a better use of punctuation and a greater awareness of setting and plot. 8=#H has made some progress in written English this year. #E is now writing stories of greater length, but still without consistent punctuation. 9=#H presentation has improved over the year, and #h writing is more legible. 10=#H handwriting is neater and less inconsistent. 11=At present #e general writing lacks consistency. For example, #N's stories are without substantial content, and poorly punctuated. #E therefore needs to appreciate that #h English work will only improve if #e pays close attention to what #e is being taught. 12=#E has gaps in #h knowledge, due to extended absences, and will need considerable reinforcement of basic skills if #e is to improve on #h current level of literacy. 13=#E is producing writing that uses complete sentences, and #h punctuation is more accurate. #E writes slowly and this means that, at times, #e does not get through all that #e needs to. 14=To improve #h writing, #N needs to organize and plan #h stories before writing.
