Write down key words or assignments for students who can read. Have the student re-verbalize instruction, directions or conversations. This helps the student recall what was heard, and allows the teacher to monitor comprehension. Structure the environment as much as possible, using a consistent routine. A buddy system can be helpful, especially with older students, to check notes and assignments.
Visual aids provide good reinforcement for students with weak auditory skills.
Breaks during the day may be necessary for the child to relax. Tension and fatigue can occur when children are constantly straining to attend and comprehend what is going on around them. Amplification systems, both personal and free field, allow students to hear the teacher more clearly with less interference from background sounds. It is most important to allow the student to experience as much success as possible to promote a good self concept. When children are frustrated with themselves as well as having academic difficulties, it is hard to stimulate interest to build skills that will help restore confidence.
