Learner Profile - Cameron by Annie Mahoney https://padlet.com/anniema/lh6vasigdome32gg Cameron reached the 6th grade in primary school. He said that he didn’t do well at school. He struggled but didn’t get any extra help. He has not been to school as an adult. In his spare time, Cameron enjoys using the internet, listening to music, playing soccer and cricket, and swimming. Cameron said that he can read and write his name but that’s all. He knows the names of the letters but he said he does not know all the sounds that they make. He does know the alphabet and recognizes some words but doesn’t really know how to sound them out. Cameron would like to be able to write letters and send emails and texts. He has some knowledge of plumbing, and he would like to get more education so he can become a licensed plumber. Right now he is working as a general labourer. en-us 2020-11-06 15:19:47 UTC 2025-04-24 14:23:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Instructions anniema https://padlet.com/anniema/lh6vasigdome32gg/wish/909256419
