Frequently asked questions
Yes, of course! Maybe you have the time and enjoy creating things, but it has to be said that being a young learner teacher can involve a HUGE amount of extra work making materials. Give yourself a break!
All my materials have been tried and tested in the classroom. As well as having almost 20 years of teaching experience, I am also a qualified trainer for the Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate), so you can rely on the quality.
Yes! They work great for mixed aged groups and different abilities because they come with different templates AND different suggestions with how to use the resource. No time wasted on adapting different worksheets!
The provided activity suggestions for before and during the craft give you all the steps you need to make this a fun and engaging core activity in your lesson. I’d recommend adding in the storytelling and a game or song or two. See the Three Billy Goats Gruff Story Resource Page for videos, songs and other resources.
You can certainly find some free worksheets out there, but it’ll be tough to find ones that exactly match the vocabulary in the story and practise sequencing skills at the same time. I can guarantee your young learners will be much more excited to create this. Engaged and motivated children make for a happy lesson (and teacher!)
