kl33 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Does anyone have the early learning goals broken down or in child friendly language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I dont think the children need to know much more than-- we are learning to count, or we are learning to look at how things change etc. Make sure children know numbers are for counting and letters go together to make words for reading and writing. Keep it simple but relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 That's an interesting question kl33. I'm not up to date with reception practice anymore, but do you have to put up LIs in your classroom, and is that why you'd like them in simplified terms? I quite like the idea of rephrasing them.....maybe we could start here Maybe "retell narratives in the correct sequence, drawing on the language patterns of stories" could be "We are going to tell each other our favourite stories, starting with 'One day, a long time ago....'" Anyone fancy improving my attempt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously I think LI are for the adults not for the children - were we in europe they would not be expected to do this nor would the adults! Too much too soon can damage children!

Guest Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I quite like the idea of children understanding the WALT and WILF. For instance, my little girl (who is in reception) has been talking about learning words that have the same sounds but different meanings/spellings, so I've been able to talk to her at home using the words homophones and homonyms. Her teacher has obviously explained the intention of the learning there. I haven't seen the ELGs phrased in this way though. I think I would probably do it on a one by one basis as I taught them.
