Work Placement Institution: Melrose on the Hill<br />
1. Description of the situation<br />
The child and the nursery teacher are sitting on the floor of the board game area. The<br />
child has a jigsaw puzzle in front of him/her. The puzzle consists of two parts. One part<br />
shows a pictogram, the other one shows the respective word to it.<br />
2. Observed support<br />
The child’s task is to find the right word to the pictogram. For that to happen, he/she<br />
takes the part with the pictogram and speaks the corresponding word aloud. By<br />
pronouncing the word aloud the child tries to identify the initial letter. After that, the<br />
child searches the parts for that initial letter and when he/she has found the right word,<br />
he/she reads the word out loud before joining the two parts together.<br />
The teacher watches the child and corrects the pronunciation or helps with the individual<br />
letters if necessary. The child repeats each step until every part is linked with its<br />
counterpart.<br />
3. Hints for the practical implementation in German day care centres<br />
Can be implemented, provided that the day care center has a jigsaw puzzle in the same style.
