Early Writing and Mark Making Learning Story Pack
Capture and showcase children’s early writing, drawing and mark making with this beautifully designed Learning Story Pack, created for early childhood services, kindergarten programs and school-aged care settings.
This pack supports educators to document the meaningful learning that happens when children explore marks, lines, patterns, symbols, drawing, sensory writing, name writing, sand tracing, outdoor mark making and early written communication.
Learning stories invite children and families to revisit learning together, talk about what happened, celebrate progress and make connections between home and the service. They can be printed for portfolios and displays or used online for digital documentation.
Each template supports the full assessment and planning cycle by helping educators observe, analyse, document, plan, implement and reflect on children’s learning. This supports Quality Area 1 and Element 1.3.1, showing how children’s learning is noticed, interpreted and extended through ongoing planning.
