Learning, Decoded: Understanding and Using Your Child's Unique Learning Style to Improve Academic Performance - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Your smart child is suddenly—and mysteriously—struggling in school... Your child’s always been a good student. But now, they’re falling short in one or more areas. And no one seems to know why. You’re frustrated. Your child is frustrated. And the school doesn’t seem to have any answers. If things continue like this, they risk lagging even further behind... Every student has a unique learning style, yet schools today, thanks to rising student-teacher ratios, must teach to “average” or “typical” learners, often leaving kids with unique learning challenges—and their parents—to fend for themselves. Add an academic climate weighted down by well intentioned, but often misguided concerns for political correctness and sensitivity, and it can be challenging to have frank discussions about a particular child’s intelligence level and learning style. But, those are just the kinds of conversations that could help under-performing students get the help they need to excel again. Yet, there’s a proven process that proactive parents are using right now to get results, and for children just like yours... Enter Learning Decoded, a breakthrough blueprint written in layman’s terms, for taking the reins of your child’s academic future. In LD, author Heather Bragg, elementary-school teacher, learning specialist, author and researcher, has crafted a powerful, yet easy-to-follow three-step process designed to get results when conventional strategies have failed. A synthesis of scholarly research and contemporary methodologies, along with Bragg’s years working as an educator steeped in the science of learning, LD promises to help parents: • Analyze exactly which tasks are hard for their child • Break down the challenging task to see if it’s a problem with input (i.e., how the information is explained to the child), processing (i.e., attention, memory, organization) or output (how the student is expected to show what he knows) • Choose the most effective remedy to address the issue You only want the best for your child. And when you can see, clearly, where your child’s strengths and weaknesses truly lie, you can design a plan ofactionspecifictotheirchallenges.Evenwhen you’re not getting the support you need from the school, Learning Decoded offers new hope and a clearly marked path for getting your child back on track.
