Jihya showed strong engagement throughout the lesson and demonstrated a solid understanding of homophones, correctly identifying and using them in context. She also displayed a good grasp of general narrative structure, recognising key story elements to understand how they fit together. Her participation during reading activities was positive, and she responded thoughtfully to questions.

Jihya tends to shy away from tasks that feel even slightly challenging, often doubting her ability before she begins. When presented with activities that require more independent thinking, such as creating her own narrative last lesson, she becomes hesitant and finds the task daunting, even though she demonstrates the underlying skills during guided work.

Jihya showed clear improvement in her reading fluency today, confidently sounding out unfamiliar words by breaking them into smaller parts and picking up new vocabulary as she read. She grasped the difference between verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and nouns, applying this understanding accurately during her NAPLAN style questions.

Jihya would benefit from further practice identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in sentences where multiple word types are present. When the questions do not provide hints or scaffolding, she sometimes hesitates or misclassifies certain words. Continued exposure to mixed sentence examples and more independent practice will help her build confidence and accuracy.

Jihya demonstrated strong reading skills throughout the lesson. She was able to successfully sound out unfamiliar words in both the activity and the book by breaking them into smaller parts, showing improved reading fluency. She also broke down the text effectively to identify key narrative elements, including the setting, main characters, the conflict, and how the problem is solved. Her ability to analyse the story and extract these features shows growing confidence in her comprehension and critical thinking.

. At times, she tends to skip lines or change words subconsciously, which can be improved by using a pencil or finger to trace each sentence and slowing her pace when she notices herself reading too quickly. With continued practice and regular reading, her fluency and accuracy will naturally improve.

Jihya was able to use her critical thinking skills to understand the usage of commas, alongside the curation of her own sentences requiring them. During the readings, she was able to 'sound out' many words she was unfamiliar with by breaking them down into their smaller parts, showing an increased reading fluency.

During readings, she requires an understanding of when to break up a sentence to take a breath. Reading fluency can also be improved to be smoother, which is to be achieved naturally through more readings.
