Question

Ms dlamini is the owner of a nursery school that has 40 children from 2 to 6 years. But during story time, all the children are grouped together. Ms dlamini asks the assistant to take any book from the book corner and read the story to the group of children. Story time is usually struggle as the children never pay attention and are always disruptive.
1.evaluate why combining children from the two age groups for story time is not suitable.

Answer 1

Combining children from the two age groups is not suitable because their understanding is different. Children below 4 years cannot understand many words and, therefore, should be taught separately. In addition, they only speak a few words and, hence, their stories should comprise a lot of pictures and few words. Also, the teacher should repeat the words all the time for the children to understand the story. Contrarily, children between the ages of 4-6 years can understand and talk many words. In addition, there is no need for a teacher to repeat the story most of the time because they can understand easily and contribute by asking questions.
