Order of Texts

When teaching young students We usually


• Teach Humash [or Tanach] first

• Then we proceed to Mishnah

• Then we proceed to teach Bavli and Rishonim - such as Rashi and Tosafot.


Questions:


• Why do we bypass Tosefta?

• Why do we bypass Yerushalmi?


IOW Shouldn't we cover the texts in chronological order?


Illustration of chronological order:

• Mishnah

• Tosefta

• Yerushalmi

• Bavli
