When homework assignments are given, it's helpful if the teacher provides a list of books or other materials to complete the assignment. Or, they come home with the book, but they don't know which page they're supposed to do. The teacher can spell it out on the blackboard. Teachers can help students plan their time on a project by providing an outline which blocks out periods of time and charts how far along the child should be on the project, to help him to stay on target. Table of Contents Handwriting One of the specific learning disabilities teachers often complain about is the child's handwriting.
Handwriting involves fine motor skills.
The way teachers generally try to get children to improve their handwriting is to have the child practice it over and over again. But there's a much more effective way to help these children. Start by using the child's gross motor skills, and gradually work down to the fine motor control. I recommend a large easel pad. You want the child to understand what the letters look like and how you make them.
