Primary Schoolers Having Learning Difficulties

Primary Schoolers Having Learning Difficulties

• Some children grow and develop more slowly than others.
• There are many names for this slow development. Sometimes having a name for the difficulty helps parents, teachers and the child cope.
• Learning difficulties can arise when children:
  • can't pay attention
  • words seem to jump around on the page
  • feel things are going too fast for them
  • have physical disabilities
  • confuse letters and words, left and right, foreground and background
  • can't hear differences in sounds
  • need more time to learn
  • can't organise all they see, hear and think
  • have trouble remembering
  • have trouble speaking, moving or coordinating their bodies.
• If you are worried about your child's progress:
  • check eyesight and hearing
  • speak to your child's teacher about your child's social development as well as their school work
  • see your doctor, speech therapist, health professional
