Early Education and The Use of Worksheets - Problems with The Google Generation

Early Education and The Use of Worksheets - Problems with The Google Generation

This is an ongoing debate! I am often asked about this when I am visiting a setting or school - where do you stand.
We must question the use of worksheets and ask what is it exactly that I want the children to learn from this activity?
We must then always ask - is the opportunity I have planned for them going to give them the best chance of learning something significant.

This article outlines the 3 main practice attitudes to worksheet use in the Early Years and gives sound insight into the value of questioning practice.

Have a great week!
