Remediation
Give dyslexic students more time to complete their class work and tests. Reduce the level of distraction in the classroom. Distractible kids
should sit
away from
windows
and
close to you.
Give pre-teaching activities. Provide plenty of
pre-listening
, pre-writing and pre-reading tasks.
Practice pair-work, group-work and class discussions to make ADHD kids interested and motivated in studies. Practice multi-sensory teaching. Teach the language using visual, auditory, mnemonic, tactile and kinesthetic strategies to enhance memory which is especially useful for kids with dyspraxia. Slide9
If they still don’t want to study…
Ask them general questions about the weather, news, etc.Teach proverbs about studies: * No pain – no gain * London wasn’t built in a day
* Better late than never
* Practice makes perfect
Tell jokes in English but be aware that ASD student might misunderstand them. So you should explain their meaning.
Offer them table games (snakes and ladders, domino, bingo)
Show them a film
Let them download some apps and use their mobile devices.Slide10
