THINGS TO KNOW
This programme follows the CAPS document for Grade R and meets ALL the requirements.
School term lengths differ from year to year, so we are taking a middle ground and have 10 topics in the 1st and 2nd term, 9 in the 3rd term and 7 in the 4th term. The topics will basically be according to those in the CAPS document and therefore the same as our previous CAPS programme. We do include a few extra topics too. (See the * in the list below.)
BUT
This is a very different programme with a very large percentage of new material. The material for the children is in a different format and for the teachers there are four comprehensive guidebooks and free online resources.
The programme has been developed in consultation with Grade R teachers and we are confident you will love it! Especially our assessment tools!
The programme will be available ‘term by term’ or as a ‘package deal.’
The addition of colour and a wealth of activities PLUS our high quality standards make this an excellent choice and value for money!

IMPROVED ASSESSMENT TOOLS
-
There is a unique CAPS Grade R requirements list which gives each requirement a reference number.
-
The list shows which requirements are met using the activity sheets and which during the daily lesson plans.
-
The requirement and the ref. number are found on the activity sheets and guidebook pages.
-
These are then carried over to the assessment rubrics.
-
The same requirements listed on the rubrics are carried over to the end-of-term report.
EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
-
Each term there will be a CAPS Grade R Guidebook with a corresponding Home Page on this website.
-
On each Home Page you will find all the resources mentioned in the Guidebook.
