3 Ways to Help Slow Learners

To help a slow learner in your classroom, summarize the main learning points before each lesson so they know what to focus on. When you reach these points during the lesson, make sure to repeat them a few times, which can help your student remember the information. You can also use colored cards to gauge their understanding of the main learning points. For example, get them to hold up green, yellow, or red cards to show if they understand a lot, a little, or if they’re still confused. Another useful method is to use more audio and visual aids to stimulate their senses and help them remember. Pay attention to which kind of aids help your student best, so you can use more of these in the future.
