Here are some strategies that can be used:
• Anchoring Activities - Anchoring involves the elicitation of a strong congruent experience of a desired state, whilst using some notable stimulus (touch, word, sight, smell) at the time this is most fully realized. In many cases, repetition of the stimulus will reassociate and restore the experience of the state. (Tracey Hall)
• Tiered Instruction - Tiered instruction is a means of teaching one concept and meeting the different learning needs in a group. (Tracey Hall)
• Adjusting Questions – Adjust the question to the level of the student. Taking into consideration the readiness of the student.
• Learning Contract – A contract is a written agreement drawn up with a student. It is designed to decrease an unwanted behaviour and behaviour and elicit a desired behaviour. (Josee Nadeau)
• Reading Duddies – Students assisting one another by sharing/assisting each other.
• Flexible Grouping – According to the activity, group students according to strengths, interest and readiness. No fix grouping.
• Curriculum Compacting - Curriculum compacting is a process to "streamline" and adjust the grade-level curriculum by eliminating material that students have previously learned. In doing so, all learners are challenged, and students who show high levels of attainment are provided with time for differentiated enhancement or acceleration activities.
• Learning Centers – Activity centers that enhance and develop the required skills.
• Independent Study – Where learners can be responsible for their learning with minimal guidance/instructions.
• Present Material at independent level not frustration.
• Repeat direction.
• Follow through.
• Modify classroom.
• Verbally express.
• Use study skills support.
• Positive reinforcements.
• Individualised assignments.
I think we must be able to adjust and modify these strategies to fit the needs of our children so they can be successful.
