What do you do if school's not going as well as you hoped?

Term 1 is almost over - how will Term 2 be different?

How is your child going at school …. are they keen to get ready to go every morning?

Do they give you positive answers when you ask “how was school today?"

Or do you have a struggle to get them ready for school? Do they tell you that school is "dumb" or "boring", or that they don't like school?

And is homework a battle? Does your child get frustrated and find all sorts of reasons to delay homework?

Do you get more and more annoyed with them? How often does homework cause friction between you and your child?

 

Learning easier

Imagine if learning was easier for your child

Scientists have known for a couple of decades how to improve the way the brain learns.

They have developed a way your child can increase their learning capacity and finish 2020 a much more capable student.

Learning difficulty

3 important things you need to know

  1. Not lazy
    If your child is struggling at school, that does not mean they are lazy, or they should “just try harder”.

  2. Not a bad child
    If your child has a behaviour problem, you don't necessarily have a "bad" child.

  3. A learning difficulty
    Not doing well at school or behaving badly is often caused by a learning difficulty.

Learning difficulties come in many forms

Does your child have one or more of these challenges?

 

  • Following instructions - at home or school

  • Learning to read - a common learning difficulty

  • Understanding what they read - some children can read quite well but can't understand it

  • Spelling - a challenge for many

  • Maths difficulties - or a lack of confidence with numbers

  • Thinking Speed - do you notice that your child seems slow to respond to questions?

  • Memory - if you have a problem remembering, even for a short time, learning is a real challenge
  • Listening - most learning, especially for young children, depends on good listening skills

  • Language - language delays or disorders can cause difficulties with reading and writing

  • Auditory Processing Disorder - when their brain does not readily process what their ears hear

  • Autism - can cause a variety of learning difficulties

  • Attention - being easily distracted and not able to focus makes learning difficult

So what can you do?

More of the same or something different?

Parents tell how Fast ForWord and
Reading Assistant helped

Melissa | VIC

Hugh's school psychologist recommended we try Fast ForWord.  After using the program for 6 months Hugh's reading improved from below his age level to over a year above. He is better organised and his listening skills have improved. The vice principal commented, "Wow, hasn't Hugh grown up over the school holidays?"

Within 1.5 months, Elliot's concentration came easier and he was more calm.  Another month later and we started noticing subtle changes. Elliot was thinking more clearly, was more confident, and more settled in his thought processes. Elliot's times tables have also improved since doing Fast ForWord. Elliot says EVERYTHING seems clearer.

Mary | New Zealand

Our son has shown improvements in so many areas, most importantly, focus and attention. This has lifted his achievements across the board at school and has increased his confidence and willingness to be involved in his education.
