Nyem Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi all, just wondering if any setting write children's speech into observations even if it's not a language observation? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I always recommend doing that. An observation is what you see and hear. An assessment is the later evaluation of many observations. How else can you understand the child's thinking and motivation without their external expression of their internal processes? Cx 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I do - the 'child's voice' - is an important part of an observation in my humble :1b 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 as often as possible and we try to write it exactly as the child has said so that we can determine language abilities 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouseketeer Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Yep ..so much valuable information is gained from what they actually say or don't even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 speech shows growing variety of words used in other contexts which reflects the breath of their experiences - a statement in speaking 30-50, e.g. "cocoon", "shade", "flat" etc, so recording speech in all areas is helpful in gathering evidence for communication and language, as well as that area; saying a block is "flat" shows use of mathematical language, which is needed to assess if they are achieving statements in 30-50 shape, space and measures. i often wish i could write in shorthand, as i'm desperately trying to write it down exactly as they say it and they can say a lot!!!!!!!!
