When taking notes, some children have trouble figuring out
\nwhat\u2019s important and what isn\u2019t \u2014 what\u2019s worth writing down and remembering.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

So here are Sylvie\u2019s 3 tips<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1786409530170{margin-top: 5% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1786407741282{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786414212395{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

To begin, the teacher hands out a worksheet for the lesson or chapter that includes the headings, subheadings, and a few key points. The students fill out this worksheet during class.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”48649″ img_size=”Thumbnail” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786414225430{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The teacher writes the key words on the board during the class.<\/p>\n

At the end of the class, the teacher takes a photo of the board and sends it to the students.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”48657″ img_size=”Thumbnail” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1786407755946{background-color: #efefef !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786414245230{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

The teacher can ask students to summarize the material in groups, with some students speaking and others writing, depending on each student\u2019s preferences and abilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best work is distributed to everyone. A bonus may be awarded to the best group.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it means fewer papers to grade!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”2 – Spelling and dictations” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23011eaa” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1784653967897{background-color: #011eaa !important;}”][vc_column_text el_class=”color-white” css=”.vc_custom_1786486978858{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-right: 7% !important;padding-bottom: 4% !important;padding-left: 7% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Some children with learning disabilities \u2014 including ADHD, dyspraxia, or dysorthography \u2014 find it difficult to complete dictations without making mistakes because they have to think about vocabulary, spelling, and grammar all at once while writing fairly quickly.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1786409643917{margin-top: 5% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”48651″ alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786414873315{padding-top: 10% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Some children have a lot of trouble with grammar rules. <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Often, children understand the material right after class but forget it over time. <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s no magic solution \u2014 it has to be memorized, just like the multiplication tables.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
