Slow learners need extra support from parents and educators alike. No
child deserves any less of a chance.
As parents, what we can do is maintain a positive attitude and
consistently support our children to be the best they can be without
limitations.
Providing students with a quiet place to work to reduce distractions
Give genuine praise frequently by emphasizing their strengths and
giving positive feedbacks
Developing short lessons by limiting the working time to several short
work periods rather than one long one
Varying their instructional technique by using active learning
experiences such as educational games, puzzles etc.
Allowing them to work on challenging learning materials; and gently
assure and correct them when they make occasional mistakes
Providing meaningful, concrete activities rather than abstract ones
Incorporating audio and visual materials – slow learners typically
learn better by seeing and hearing than by reading.
You too can help your child learn better through frequent study and practice.
