Does your Elementary school student struggle with reading comprehension or writing?

Question

Reading comprehension is a difficult concept, but if you can show students the key, wow! Then their confidence levels rise and reading will not be this dreaded punishment.

With writing, how many of us have stared at a blank page thinking of what we were going to write. Now, put yourself in a students perspective when given a writing assignment and not knowing how to begin or what it's supposed to look like...the anxiety is brought on by the pressure to write specific formats and do things that in very early elementary K-2, it was building a story with a beginning, middle and an end.

I can help your student navigate through any area that struggle in. We will build that confidence together.

Answer 1

Many students find reading comprehension difficult because of a number of factors. As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, many students are now reading two or more years behind their peers. The weaknesses can range from phonetic ( letter sounds and blends) to Reading Comprehension of Literary and Informational text. Students need to derive information that is explicit (right there) and implicit (inferential). In order to develop excellent reading comprehension skills, the teacher should start the student from the area of need with high-interest text and then build on build on their acquired skills to meet the desired outcome.
