Student Academic Struggles

I have a student in my class whom I know is very bright, but his test scores sure don’t show it!  He’s attentive during class and participates on occasion, so it seems like he’s following along but then freezes on the exam.  What can I do to help him prepare more effectively?

How can I get my child to do his homework? It is a struggle every night.

My students often imitate and I want to avoid reinforcing “wrong” or poor skills and behaviors. How can I teach and reinforce positive skills and behaviors?

How can I prevent a student from being non-compliant during groups or activities?

I can’t get my student to request something without providing a verbal prompt or model. He is so dependent on me and waits until I ask him to talk.

What are some alternative ways to motivate kids that struggle with the fine motor demand of writing?

 

I am a 2nd grade teacher who has a student who really struggles with writing.

 

Sometimes we allow her to type words but this also can be frustrating for her.

 

The computer is in the back of class and I sometimes feel that she is excluded from the group. Any ideas?

I have a student who will not begin her writing work in English class. I have tried graphic organizers, adult assistance, allowing her to dictate but she just doesn’t want to do the work. What can I do to motivate her to start her writing tasks?

A few of my students can read, but get very frustrated when asked to answer comprehension questions based on what has been read. How can I reduce frustration and increase comprehension?

One of the students in my Learning Support class requires prompting and reassurance for every problem on his math worksheet.  I want him to complete tasks more independently but he is constantly asking me for help or if his answer is correct.  I can’t work with other students who also need my help with all of these interruptions.  Do you have any suggestions?
