Reflections on Observation Task 4: Development of Early Writing Skills

1. What are developmental writing stages the majority of the students in?

- The majority of the students are in stage which using the mini white boards to
practice writing the letters. In addition, the string 3 of letters.

2. Describe and explain two (2) suggested strategies that the teacher can use to help the
majority of the students within their developmental writing stage.

- In my practice days as I said and recommend the stages up was the MST used to develop
the students writing skills. In my opinion, the first strategy could be used to develop the
writing skill is practice students to write the letter on the white board and let each
students to try write to make sure that all students able to write the letter. In addition,
the second strategy could be used the hand on activities for developing the writing skills.
Such as: using wooden sticks, play dough and worksheets those may focus and save the
letters on the students mind.
