Slow Learners Academy

Is your child one of those who cannot sit still in one place, or who constantly looks out of the window at home when a teacher is teaching? Looking at him/her have you been assailed by these questions: Why does he/she behave in such a way? What is bothering your child? Why does he/she not find the class environment challenging? The truth is that inattentiveness is not caused by any single factor but due to a combination of reasons operating upon the child. It can be disturbed Intellectual / cognitive development, Physical-classroom-home environment Teaching / learning process or Social-emotional process

Self-assessment questions for parents:

• Do I often scold my child for not concentrating on studies?
• How often do I give physical punishment to my child for committing mistakes?
• Do I reward or praise her when she succeeds in a given assignment?
• Do I nag my child?
• Is my home a quiet environment for studying?
• Am I careful not to invite friends/relatives when her exams/tests approach?
• Do I watch for clues of coming sickness such as cold, cough, headaches etc., in my child?

Discovering child's interest is very important to improve academic performance and overall capabilities
of a child:

Interest plays a very important role in developing concentration & attention. We have to think and devise ways and means to develop and sustain interest among children in studying different school subjects and participating in a variety of activities.

Logical way is to relate school learning experiences to the interest of the child. As a parent, you can discover your child's interest through the following:

Self-assessment questions for parents:

• Ask the child by talking to him/her.
• Teacher observation may help.
• Teacher may also watch for attentiveness during a classroom lesson.

You may give your child interest options listing a large number of activities and ask him/her to rank these from the most preferred to the least preferred
The ability to develop mental alertness is also essential skill that needs to be developed among children. But another equally important skill is the ability to develop mental alertness to attend to a variety of tasks at the same time.
A simple example of crossing the road or driving a vehicle illustrates this point. Many other situations in our daily life demand mental alertness and multiple attention. There are activities that have been devised, which help children develop this skill of multiple attention.

At Pragyan Institute for Education we try to develop interest of the child not only in academics but in himself too. The child has to have a feel good factor for oneself first, then only will he be ready to accept you as a personality , whom he would like to follow or idealize.
We follow activity oriented teaching – learning, self motivating skills and stress on Learning by doing.Following is a brief of our programme which will highlight on how each child is taken care of after accessing the abilities and capacities of a child as each child is different from another one.

Language Development among children between age group of

• 4yrs - 6yrs :- through phonics, recognition and recall techniques. The result is observed in terms of formation recognition and reproduction (oral and written) through images and vocabulary. Creative self indulging activities are conducted to develop interest in learning and increase attention span in a child.
• 7yrs - 8yrs :- by further developing word bank, increase ability in understanding the fundamentals of sentence construction, book reading, picture reading and developing a story around it, imagination building activities, creative workshop, confidence building games, role playing and much more.
• 9yrs - 12 yrs:- further strengthening of language is done by encouraging the child to read more and books which is of his/her interest - be it a comic book, story book. This will help in creating child's interest in language. Reading facilitates fluency in speaking and writing, it also helps in increasing vocabulary, proper usage of words.

Numbers is another area where we specialize by planning the key concepts in a logical order which automatically leads a child from one concept to another in a natural way without he being aware of it intentionally.
We have our own unique system and pattern of explaining concepts by linking it with daily life situations. This not only creates interest for a subject but unintentionally systematize itself in the child.

Following methods and techniques are used to create interest and understanding Concepts of Numbers, Language, Science and Social Science:
