Learning Observed

During iDevelop writing I observed Shams as he focused on his writing and was engaging in conversation with Datar about this. Shams began by creating a plan for his writing then began to identify the sounds he could hear in the words he was writing. Shams was able to use the alphabet tent card to help him identify the correct letters to write and use this to recognise the sounds and shapes.
