Pre-school Reading!

Guest · 2005-03-21T21:09:21+0000

This happens this time of year regarding the parents of the children moving on in July. Parents start to complain about the lack of worksheets/tangible proof of learning. They begin to become concerned at our lack of teaching in areas they feel we should be concentrating on. Writing (we have writing materials around the pre-school all the time, and we encourage them to write their names on their pieces of work. To discover writing in their environment etc Today was just complaints about most aspects of the Pre-school. Well anyway I could go on. Recently a new child arrived at the pre-school. We looked through the info from the old Pre-school and they were teaching her to write sentences in her work book! I discussed with the parent regarding the foundation stage curriculum. The stepping stones etc and the areas of learning. She informed me that her child was begining to read as well. I informed her that that was something that wouldn't be happening as I am not trained to do this and could possibly do something innadvertantly that the teachers would have to relearn that style of teaching. The child will also be BORED as the class don't begin to strart to read until January 2006. The local school works on the sound that the letter/word makes, which is what we do. We have also liased with them regarding other issues and have gained greater insight about aspects of learning that I had not considered. This parent is frustrated and is making her feelings known to others and as this is a grammer school area are very keen to get their children into them, they acually pay for personal teachers from as young as 5 in order to do this. They are getting into a bit of a tizz regarding this and I am sick to death of constantly hearing complaints. To this end we are having a parents evening. We will set it up for the next days activities. The parents are going to come in to play and a staff member will be discussing what they are learning from that particular experience. They will be able to have access to all areas of the Pre-school. And must abide by the same rules. Hopefully this will challenge their perspectives of life within a pre-school and perhaps they will see and come to terms with our ethos of LEARNING THROUGH PLAY. Angie
