SmileyPR Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Sweden's informal and play-centred early schooling may be the reason the average six-year-old can neither read nor write. Yet by age ten pupils have the highest levels of literacy in Europe. Early Years: How Do They Do it in Sweden? investigates this surprising success. Watch on TV: Wednesday 12.30pm and 8.30pm How do they do it in Sweden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks for that! I am really interested in how other people teach the early years! I've just read the comments and well, I think I want to go over to Sweden now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for that, I seem to have been missing programmes lately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I've just watched 2 programmes from Teachers TV, the one from Sewden and another from a nursery in Worcestershire which from what I could see are based on a 'no topic' approach. The programme focuses on listening and questioning. Links to both programmes are here Sweden Worcestershire Nursery - Listening and questioning Listening and questioning - the debate There's also another programme you can watch here, hosted by Jonathan Dimbleby. It debates 'how early should formal education begin?' Jonathan Dimbley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
