HELPING SLOW LEARNERS

To help slow learners here are some proven ideas for educators

Have a quiet place to work where the child can be easily observed and motivated.

Keep the homework sessions short

Provide activity times before and during the homework

Add a variety of tasks to the learning even if it is not assigned such as painting a picture of a reading assignment.

Allow for success

Ask questions of the child while they are working about the assignment

Go over the homework before they go to bed and before they go to school

Teach them how to use a calendar to keep track of assignments

Read to the child

Use my “Three Transfer” form of learning in which the student must take information and do three things with it besides reading. For example, read it, explain it to someone else, draw a picture of it, and take notes on it.

Be patient but consistent.

Do not reward unfinished tasks

Challenge the child

Have the child do the assignments that are the most difficult first and leave the easier ones to later. Call it the dessert principle.

Don’t be overprotective. Students who have parents that frequently intercede in their child’s education are teaching that student that the parent does not respect their abilitites. If you do call a teacher make sure you are seeking a positive outcome. Remember that most teachers have dealt with numerous slow learners and have a vast amount of experience. However, sharing your child’s strengths and weaknesses could make the school year more beneficial for all concerned.

Contact the teacher if there is a concern. Calling an administrator solves nothing as the teacher is the sole legal judge of academic success.

Take you child to exciting places where they can see where academic success

is important. A trip to a local university or community college, a walking tour

of city hall, a visit to the fire station or a behind the scenes tour of a zoo are

highly motivating.

Examples of interventions for slow learners

Environment: Reduce distractions, change seating to promote attentiveness, have a peer student teacher, and allow more breaks.

Assignments: Shorter and with more variation, repeat work in various forms, have a contract, give more hands on work, have assignments copied by student, have students use three transfer method where they have to show the work three different ways.

Assessment: Shorter tests, oral testing, redoing tests, short feedback times, don’t make students compete

What to avoid: Cooperative learning that isolates the student and places him or her in a no win situation. Using a standardized test. Ignoring the problem.

What to encourage: Grouping with a patient partner. Learning about the child’s interests. Placing the student in charge. Mapping, graphic organizers, and hands-on work. Using Bloom’s taxonomy of tasks to make the assignments more appropriate. http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/researchskills/dalton.htm
