Visiting the Classroom

While visiting the classroom, pay attention to the way the teacher gives instructions.
Are the instructions given one at a time?
Are several instructions given rapidly?
Not all of us understand instructions in the same way. Our brains may only process one item at a time. A little time may be needed between instructions.
Experiment at home. See what works best for your child.
Does the teacher talk to softly?
Does the teacher talk too rapidly?
Is there another child creating a disturbance and interfering with your child's learning?

Keep in mind that your child's problems may not always be his/her fault. Investigate and inform and train to improve the results.
