The daily experience of impossibly daunting school tasks and materials can harm a child’s sense of self-efficacy and confidence. The TaRL approach aims to build confidence by considering the child’s foundational skill level and providing challenging yet achievable tasks to help them progress. Instructors praise each child’s achievements, and practise patience while children learn at their own pace.When TaRL is well implemented, children are excited, active throughout the class, and progress quickly through the levels.
