Tasks for Infants

The following tasks have been suggested by infant teachers as useful at P - 2 level

(5 - 8 year olds) with the following provisos.

The provisos are:

1. The tasks were originally designed for Grades 2 - 10 (8 - 15 year olds).

2. The reading requirements of the task card may mean strategies need to be employed to make the tasks accessible to younger students. Two such strategies are using parent helpers and arranging buddies with older children.
