Planning integrated and playful learning

Materials and activities are linked to content-rich and interesting topics in order to

enhance integrated learning. Where possible, children are offered games, ideas and
tasks where they can make use of literacy and numeracy integrated with other topics for

learning. Teachers’ attitudes to their role is what hugely impacts the learning process -
the teacher should not try to only input knowledge, but rather be an advisor and a fellow

student, the creator of the learning environment and a collaborator.

The environment provides a framework for both planned learning and children’s
independent activities. According to the contemporary view they both constitute

valuable components in school or kindergarten curricula. Systematic planning and

valuing various functions of literacy across the entire educational institution
considerably facilitates children’s reading and writing skills development.

Meeleelundid - laps ei täida töövihikut vaid kujundab ise oma töö.
