Help! My Child Hates Writing

Posted on November 9, 2010 | Leave a comment

  • You can hire a tutor to work with them to develop their handwriting skills. Many tutors will also help with fine and gross motor skill development which will help enhance writing development.
  • Use different methods of recording (see this article).
  • Use a reward system.
  • Ensure that your child can read at an age appropriate level and enjoys reading. Readers become writers.
  • Try notebooking or lapbooking. Not sure what these are? Don’t worry more information will follow.

Dyscalculia: A Brief Introduction

Posted on November 8, 2010 | 4 Comments

 Dyscalculia is demonstrated through the following features in relation to maths; difficulties understanding and following instructions, poor counting and calculating skills, poor knowledge of number facts, inability to apply number facts to problem solving or to master skills needed for operations, poor skills at operating with numbers or symbols and the inability to use calculations for the four rules.

Through the early identification and intervention with children experiencing problems with mental calculations potential long-term difficulties can be managed leading to future success in maths further on in the student’s school career.

Dyslexia: A Brief Introduction

Posted on November 8, 2010 | 2 Comments

 

Dyslexia is evident when accurate and fluent word reading and/or spelling develops very incompletely or with great difficulty, despite appropriate learning opportunities – that is, learning opportunities which are effective for the great majority of children.
                                                                                                                                     (British Psychological Society, 1999)

Many children with ‘dyslexia’ also experience difficulties with memory, sequencing and language. A significant umber may also experience phonological difficulties leading to problems with reading, writing and spelling.

It is important to identify children who are experiencing such problems as early as possible. This will be done in schools through assessment. Early identification means that schools can support children as soon as possible in their school career and support them within the classroom environment, where possible.
