Why Do Children Fall Behind In School?
In my experience, children typically fall behind in school due to some form of lack of instruction. Perhaps they missed the instruction due to an absence, weren’t paying close enough attention when the lesson was presented, the material wasn’t repeated, or it wasn’t presented in their preferential learning style. Of course there are many reasons children don’t perform well in a subject area or fall behind. Be that as it may, offering customized lessons through tutoring and homeschooling tailored to specific educational needs is the key to success now and in the future.
My child is struggling with writing skills. What do you suggest?
Writing about a topic can be a difficult task for students to master? Certainly, strong reading skills provide a foundation for strong writing skills to develop. Early in the writing process children learn to sequence story events in order. Event order can be sequenced by words such as before, during, and after. The writer will need to add details to clarify what has happened and to have an ending, which signifies closure. Much goes into each phase of the writing process: planning, revising, editing, rewriting, and sometimes even a fresh start. All aspects of reading and writing instruction may need explicit individualized instruction, taught by a certified teacher in a tutoring or home education setting, with lesson plans designed specifically for your child’s progress.
