| Remember: Every subject taught in math class is built upon the comprehension of another, previously taught subject. If you don't understand something, let someone know! |
Some learning difficulties stem from listening problems. Practice listening to people and practice being able to understand what they are saying, and repeat it to them. This may seem like a dull exercise, but if it works, use it!
|
| Read out loud to someone every day. As you practice reading, you will get better at it, and so will your comprehension. |
| Look for patterns in every subject--not only math. There are patterns in spelling words as well as in math. The better you get at reading and writing, the better you will do in school! |
| Help yourself remember things better by drawing pictures of them in your notebook. If you can think of a picture that might help you remember, draw it! |
| Help yourself remember things better by associating them with a song! Sing instructions to the tune of your favorite song--I bet you remember them easier! |
| If you work better talking it out with someone, tell me! I will let you work with a partner. |
| Go here: Freeze.com There are a few eye-hand coordination games, word games and thinking games. These games need to be downloaded, so check with someone to make sure its OK first. |
| If you need more time with a test, or maybe a different type of test, tell me! I can help you be successful--that's what I am here for. |
| Don't give up, ever! I believe you can do it, so why don't you? |
