Early Sorting/Grouping activity - Identical and Non-identical items

Why we teach errorless learning

Errorless learning is a teaching technique that involves minimizing errors during the learning process by providing learners with prompts or cues to help them avoid making mistakes. This approach is particularly effective with young early learning students because it can help build their confidence and prevent frustration, which can be major barriers to learning.

Here are some reasons why it is important for educators to teach errorless learning to young early learning students:

1. Promotes success: Young early learning students who experience success in their learning are more likely to enjoy the process of learning and be motivated to continue. By minimizing errors and providing cues, educators can help students achieve success and build their confidence.

2. Reduces frustration: When young early learning students make mistakes, they can become frustrated and lose interest in learning. By minimizing errors and providing cues, educators can reduce frustration and keep students engaged and motivated.

3. Increases independence: Errorless learning can help young early learning students become more independent learners by allowing them to practice skills without the fear of making mistakes. As they become more confident and proficient in their learning, they can gradually reduce their reliance on prompts and cues.

4. Builds a strong foundation: Early learning is critical for building a strong foundation for future learning. By teaching errorless learning, educators can help students develop a strong foundation of skills and knowledge that they can build on as they progress through their academic careers.

Sorting/Grouping non-identical objects - ERRORLESS ACTIVITY

This activity is a great starter activity for the learner who is being introduced to the concept of grouping/sorting.

This 22 page activity is two activities in one. The first one is errorless, where the learner can be independently successful completing an activity. It teaches identical matching and the initial concept of group sorting- taking an identical item from a group of identical items and moving it to match an identical item. There is a second bonus activity of non-identical cards to teach grouping of non-identical items. The pictures are large and clear. Great for those with vision issues or even visual attention issues.
