Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 A teacher who teaches on our foundation stage team is a firm beleivere that children shoud not start to record until the summer term. Is this right - is part of some guidelines somewhere or is this an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 The medium term NNS plans suggests writing numbers in the summer term. Emergent writing can be offered at any time? I do think that you need to have a balance of skills and "readiness" before starting recorded work but what is meant by recording? A cutting and sticking activity could be recorded work etc. Children becoming discouraged by a more formal task that they can not complete or access should be discouraged---perhaps that is what she means??
