Spelling Struggles and ADHD

Spelling Struggles and ADHD Many kids with ADHD struggle with spelling problems. They have difficulty learning to spell new words, may take longer to think through how to spell a word and write it down on the page, and make mistakes spelling simple words that they had previously memorized. In fact, studies have shown that kids with ADHD are even likely to make spelling mistakes when they copy words verbatim. Unfortunately, kids with ADHD who struggle with spelling are often perceived as not caring about the quality of their work, or being too lazy to double check for errors. In reality, one of the primary executive functioning components involved in spelling working memory - is impaired in many kids with ADHD. As a result, kids with ADHD will make more spelling mistakes than kids without ADHD even when they are trying to do their best work. In addition, having ADHD makes it harder to identify spelling mistakes during proofreading, so traditional strategies for double checking work may not be very effective. While spelling struggles may be a lifelong challenge for many kids with ADHD, there are strategies that can help. Commit words to memory using creative strategies. Making spelling an automatic process whenever possible wont eliminate spelling problems, but it will help cut down on errors. Basic, repetitive memorization strategies are often not very effective for kids with ADHD. Instead, try incorporating tactile activities. Allow your child to use magnetic letters to spell words or write words with his or her fingers in a tray of sand or on a cutting board covered in baking flour. If you have more time, allow your child to use clay to form letter shapes and spell out words. Encourage your child to read. In general, the more kids read the better they will become at spelling. If your child is a reluctant reader, supplement required reading assignments with fun reading activities. These can be things like reading comic books, having someone read aloud while he or she follows along, or visiting websites with articles on his or her favorite topics. Allow your child to type words instead of handwriting them. Spelling is a complex process, and some kids with ADHD have difficulty with the physical process of handwriting letters to form word lists and at least some of his or her assignments. Consider talking to your childs teacher about getting an accommodation that will allow your child to turn in homework assignments that were completed on a computer. Use Text to Speech readers and spell checkers as proofreading tools. Basic proofreading is a challenge for kids with ADHD, but technology can help. Spell checkers will catch many spelling errors, and Text to Speech readers will identify even more spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Text to Speech programs will read aloud the words that your child has typed onto the page. Your child will be able to hear when a word sounds incorrect, or is used is the wrong context. There are many free Text to Speech readers, like NaturalReader, available online. Consider testing for learning problems. If your childs spelling challenges are severe and/or are accompanied by reading delays and other writing problems, then consider requesting a learning evaluation from your childs school, an educational therapist, or a psychologist. Its possible that a reading or writing disorder is driving the problem, and targeted interventions can help. Spelling struggles can be frustrating for kids with ADHD, but with patience, practice, and a little help from technology, your childs spelling can improve over time. ABOUT DR.

What to Drink When It Gets Chilly

What to Drink When It Gets Chilly Photo from Flickr.com by Piutus Pumpkin spice lattes are fall beverages that made this years debut on September 4th. This beverage is topped with whipped cream and includes pumpkin syrup, espresso, and steamed milk. The ever-popular pumpkin spice Frappuccino ®  is also currently available. The salted caramel hot chocolate is another fall drink that can be found at the beginning of September. This drink combines steamed milk with vanilla, mocha, and toffee nut syrup. It is topped with caramel sauce and a mixture of sugar and sea salt. For those who prefer a caffeinated salted caramel beverage, it is also available as a Frappuccino ® and a mocha, which includes espresso. In November, still more delicious beverages will be debuted in Starbucks locations across the country. The gingerbread latte is similar to the pumpkin spice one, except for the important substitution of gingerbread-flavored syrup. For those who find themselves craving a cold drink in the dead of winter, the gingerbread Frappuccino ® is yet another option. The caramel brulée latte is still relatively new to the holiday drink lineup. This drink involves espresso and steamed milk flavored with caramel brulée sauce, with whipped cream and crunchy caramel topping. This drink is also available in Frappuccino ® form. Eggnog lattes are a holiday classic. Real eggnog is combined with espresso and nutmeg for a fantastic drink with a taste that is truly reminiscent of the holidays. The peppermint mocha is a perennial favorite of many. A twist on the standard plain mocha with its splash of peppermint syrup, it is also available as a hot chocolate drink, minus the espresso. Peppermint mocha Frappuccinos ®  are also available. (If youre worried about calorie counting  or other nutritional facts, Starbucks has an online listing for each of these drinks!) The end of summer might be less than desirable for some, but with the help of these delicious drinks, the transition to icy weather can be made a bit sweeter!

England`s Schools facing a severe Teacher shortage - Tutor Hunt Blog

England`s Schools facing a severe Teacher shortage England`s Schools facing a severe Teacher shortage England`s Schools facing a severe Teacher shortageSchoolsFor many years now there has been a teacher shortage in the UK. Back in 2016 the National Audit Office (NAO) confirmed in an extensive report that many schools were severely understaffed, and there were an exorbitant number of temporary filled positions - a figure that had apparently doubled between 2011 and 2014. The Education Policy Institute, an independent, evidence-based research body which aims to promote high quality education outcomes for young people, has recently published a report that says many British schools are severely understaffed. There is a `severe shortage` of teachers, which has inevitably led to larger classes, with many subjects being taught by staff lacking the relevant degree. These last two points are extremely concerning - It is of course harder to maintain discipline in a larger class, and there is less chance of pupils receiving even a little one to one help from the teacher. I wasn`t aware that teachers were even permitted to teach a subject that they didn`t possess a degree in - having retired from teaching a little over a decade ago, I recall my colleagues were all suitably qualified to teach their classes; it would be dismaying to think standards have slipped so precipitously in such a short span of time. In a recent statement Education Secretary Damian Hinds announced that staff recruitment is a top priority, and said that targeted pay increases could assist with the problem. Back in July a fast track teacher training course was given the green light. Aiming to recruit teachers in computing, mathematics, chemistry, home economics, and physics, the course consist of the whole of the two-year postgraduate diploma of education (PGDE) and teacher induction, and can be completed in just 18 months. Education Secretary John Swinney was extremely enthusiastic about the new fast track courses: `This innovative programme will aim to broaden the range of people entering the profession in shortage subject areas and provide a challenging and rewarding opportunity to train in rural schools within areas of high deprivation.` The courses contain less holiday time, so those determined to undertake them will certainly have to knuckle down - but the chance to become a fully qualified teacher in less than two years will certain be attractive to many. The shortage of teachers in the STEM subjects - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - has been a concern for some time. The economy is obviously becoming more technology orientated, and if the UK is to remain competitive, we must ensure that we produce a workforce capable of meeting the needs of the modern market. The 2016 NAO report contained some extremely concerning statistics, detailing how the majority of the government`s recruitment targets were missed, and that little more than half the design and Technology teacher places were filled. In the same year the department for education was heavily criticised for failing to hit recruitment targets - continuing a somewhat dismal pattern, as they had also failed to meet them for the previous three years. When met with criticism about the teacher shortage the government seems to reflexively roll out the same response - that there are more teachers in the profession than ever before. On the face of it this seems a satisfactory rebuttal, and it is indeed factually correct. From 2016 to 2017 the number of teachers in the profession rose by 1.3 per cent, from 506,000 to 512,000. A very slight rise, but an increase certainly. The pertinent issue however is that we have more pupils than ever before in the education system, with the number growing every year. It is estimated that, because of the rise in birth rate, as we enter the 2020`s the school population is very likely to increase by between 800,000 and 900,000 - a truly staggering figure, almost a million extra pupils in the education system by the end of the decade. Is the government taking proper steps to deal with the problem? A judicious way to bring more people into teaching, in my opinion, is to make the profession itself more attractive. There are a multitude of potential teachers out there, working in industry - in the scientific, corporate, and business sectors - who have both academic, and workplace knowledge. If the profession of teaching could be made more attractive to them, then the shortage could be attenuated. 18 months ago0Add a Comment

Chinese Has Become The Most Tutored Language

Chinese Has Become The Most Tutored Language Chinese has become the most tutored language. The Chinese New Year (recently celebrated on February 19) is an example of this phenomenon. There are many schools which used the Chinese New Year to promote Mandarin courses to its parents and students. This is not a surprise because Mandarin Chinese has risen to the most popular choice among second languages in recent years. Chineses number one position is somewhat of a surprise because Spanish seemed to be destined to stay as the most popular foreign language in the new millennium. For one, the US shares a 3000 miles border with Mexico our Spanish speaking neighbor. For another, in 2013 over 33 million Hispanics lived in the US, making it the largest minority to date. However, the number one position of Spanish has been fading for years. More students are now saying huan ying instead of bienvenida (welcome) in high  schools. Why? Enter the phenomenon of Mandarin the language of the Chinese. Its unprecedented growth came to be because China rose to the world stage in recent decades. The Chinese economy is today  the second largest in the world. China is a country of manufacturing prowess, and is the most important trading partner for  US enterprises. There are more  factors that contribute to the popularity of Mandarin. For one, most babies adopted in the US are from Chinese parents. Another is the ability to speak Chinese has become hot ticket on college applications as well as a starred addition to executive résumés. The outcome of these trends have led to an exponential growth of the number of students in learning Chinese in the US. If youre not already familiar with Mandarin, now its the time to learn a few basic Chinese words: Hello n?h?o I am fine w? h?n h?o Do you speak English? n? huì shu? y?ngwén ma Thank you xiè xie n? women N?rén I love you W? ài n? Yes, learning even these six words can be challenging. How are these phonetic symbols pronounced? (e.g. n?h?o nee how). Or in what order do the Chinese structure their sentences? To answer these questions and many more check out TutorZ Mandarin Chinese tutors. xiè xie n? (Thank you)
