1.1 Assessment for inclusivity is practised in Scenario B. This is because Mr Japhta
is actively screening and identifying learners with learning challenges at the
beginning of each school year. By doing so, he is ensuring that all learners,
regardless of their abilities, can succeed. The assessment activities are designed to
identify learners with learning barriers, so that they can be supported accordingly.
This approach promotes inclusivity by providing targeted support to those who need
it.
1.2 The assessment of learners' scholastic achievement is used in Scenario B. Mr
Japhta prepares assessment activities for grade one learners to identify those with
learning barriers. The results of these informal assessments are used to draft
individual support plans for those who have been identified as needing extra specific
support. This indicates that the purpose of the assessment is to determine the
academic achievement of the learners and to provide appropriate support based on
their individual needs.
1.3 The usage of the SIAS (Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support)
policy is going to be vital in Scenario B. This is because Mr Japhta is tasked with
screening and identifying learners with learning challenges at the beginning of each
school year. The SIAS policy provides a structured approach for identifying and
supporting learners with additional needs in the education system. By using this
policy, Mr Japhta can ensure that learners with learning barriers are properly
assessed and provided with the necessary support.
1.4 In Scenario B, the inclusion of parents is of utmost importance. This is because
the success of each learner is paramount in Hlakula school, and parents play a
crucial role in supporting their child's learning and development. By involving parents
in the assessment process, Mr Japhta can gather valuable insights and information
, about the learners from their primary caregivers. This collaboration between parents
and teachers can lead to a more holistic understanding of the learner's needs and
enable effective support both at school and at home.

Reading
Reading is based on understanding speech. Learning disorders with reading often
are based on a child's trouble understanding a spoken word as a mix of distinct
sounds. This can make it hard to understand how a letter or letters represent a
sound and how letters make a word.
Problems with short-term memory, also called working memory, can play a role.
Even when basic reading skills are mastered, children may have trouble with the
following skills:
• Reading at a typical pace.
• Understanding what they read.
• Recalling correctly what they read.
• Making conclusions based on their reading.
• Spelling.
One of the most common types of learning disorders is a reading disorder called
dyslexia. It causes you to have trouble picking out different speech sounds in words
and learning how letters relate to those sounds.
Writing
Writing requires complex skills that involve vision, movement and the ability to
process information. A learning disorder in writing, also called dysgraphia, may
cause the following:
