knowing your students
Week 1: Learn Names Is there anything more important and basic than learning students’ names early in the year? Make it your goal to have all names learned by the end of the first week. There are lots of practical strategies for learning names:
wear name tags, play name games, team-building games, use students’ names frequently, and of course, practice-practice-practice.
Week 2: Share Goals
What do your students hope to gain from this school year? Have them share their academic and social goals for the year. They might all fill in a questionnaire for you to read, or you might create a bulletin board where each student shares one personal hope or dream for the year.
Week 3: Get to Know Families
The more we know our students’ families, the better we understand our students, and the more connected our students are with school. Make it a goal to call each family in the first few weeks of school. Share a positive observation of their student, and then ask parents/guardians what you should know about their child to best teach them is a good strategy for getting to know students.
Week 4: Birthday Cluster Activity
In his incredible book about child development in the classroom, Yardsticks, Chip Wood suggests an activity to get a sense of the developmental tone of your class. Make a list of your students in order of their birthdays (from youngest to oldest) and look for the cluster of students who all have birthdays within a few months of each other—almost every class has on
Week 5: Share Personal Artifacts
Invite students to share simple personal artifacts that help show their interests and passions. This might happen on an ‘All About Us’ bulletin board, in a class scrapbook, or on personal wall spaces—places where each student can post work, pictures, or other small items that help share who they are.
Tips for Reaching Your Struggling Learner
Differentiated instruction
With this approach, teachers change and switch around what students need to learn, how they’ll learn it, and how to get the material across to them. When a student struggles in one area, the teacher creates a plan that includes extra practice, step-by-step directions, and special homework. Find out more about differentiated
Teach Through Direct Instruction
Direct instruction is a proven method in which the child is taught exactly what he needs to learn. With direct instruction, the information is presented very clearly through well-tested materials that rule out the possibility of misinterpretation and confusion. And your child is shown exactly how to apply the information, too. The explicit teaching of language rules and patterns means that your child doesn’t have to guess or struggle to figure out how to read or spell a difficult word.
Teach Just One New Concept at a Time
When you dump too much information into your child’s mental “funnel,” your child’s memory can only attend to a certain amount of the new information. Teaching one concept at a time respects the limitations of your child’s short-term memory, and allows concepts and skills to be more easily stored in the long-term memory. And that means significant amounts of meaningful learning can occur.
Teach Reliable Rules
Children are really helped by knowing a few reliable spelling rules. For example, knowing the rules about doubling consonants at the end of words can help them spell words like floss, sniff, and fill. When your child learns trustworthy spelling rules—like the Floss Rule—he’ll have some guidelines to help him make the right letter choices.
Understand the Importance of Multisensory Instruction
Multisensory learning happens when sight, sound, and touch are used to learn new information. Children learn best when they can use all their senses. When children can see a concept as it is explained, hear about it, and then do it with hands-on activities, it is easier for them to learn and retain the new information.

speak with parents to don this
Speak with teachers. Your student’s teachers can help pinpoint where they are struggling and advise what you can do to assist.
Practice enriching activities. With a little thought, everyday activities can be transformed into enjoyable educational experiences. Create an environment of continuous learning and growth in your home.
Show your support. Kids need to know you’re on their side. Tell them you’re proud of them and will always be there for them.
Hire a tutor. A tutor will identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses and develop a personalised learning plan for them. They can help students catch up and develop the skills to stay on top of their work.

making sure that there is no bulling to this students
Teach Reading and Spelling Separately
On the surface it may seem to make sense to teach reading and spelling together. But in reality, although they are similar, reading and spelling require different teaching techniques and a different schedule. Reading is easier than spelling, and teaching these subjects separately is much more effective for most kids. Separating these subjects allows kids to progress as quickly as possible through reading while taking as much time as needed in order to become an effective speller.
