Please dont assume your daughter is a slow learner, maybe shes just not being challanged. Please never use that term around her......please, you could be setting her up for failure before she starts, and dont allow any one else to label her in that way , in any event start with self esteem building techniques do small amounts of work and praise her on how smart she is positive re-enforcement works wonders.

Hi Vashes,\n\nChildren of quite a young age cannot be dealt with force. \nYour daughter needs to start giving respect to her school and studies. This kind of discipline does not sprout all of a sudden. Your child will generally follow your example. Maintain a disciplined decorum in your home. Things like "get up at 6", " Fold your bedspread", "Brush your teeth", "Place your brush in the stand", "eat at the dining table", "study at your study table", etc should be slowly inculcated in her. You should give her own private space where she can maintain her things and also study. This kind of ambience would influence the kid and would help her respect her school and studies. Link her performance with rewards like " a trip to the amusement park", "holiday in a farm", etc. Its a slow process and instead of commanding her to do all these things, estabilish it to her that its her responsibilty to take care of these things.\n\nRegards\nVj

Make sure your daughter understands the alphabet and what sound(s) each letter makes.  Then use a basic book and read it with her.  You can read one page and she can read the next.  If she is stuck on a word, instead of telling her the word, help her sound it out.  Another strategy to tell her is to look at the pictures to figure out what the word might be.  I hope this helps.

try to motivate this child, for example every time he or she does something right give praise. If that does not work, put him in a slower class.

Get her riding lessons or a week at horse camp.  For my daughter's 13th she got a portable phone.  She can walk around the house with it attached to herself with a microphone and ear plug thing so she can do dishes while talking on the phone.

I had dreadful handwriting as a child (poor fine motor control) and later became a teacher who had passive to better-than-average handwriting (it never became great).  The first thing is, no one was able to help me with my handwriting, and nagging me about it would have made me not even bother trying.  Second, it gets a lot better naturally around middle school when teachers don't force you to write a particular way (cursive vs. printing) so long as it is neat and you develop your own "handwriting" which will be likely a mix of both.  Having said that, what I did around her age was made myself extra credit out of it.  I made up a "cursive castle" game I did by merely practicing letters on a castle I drew out.  If she's into something, maybe she wouldn't mind decorating it with isolated letters so as to practice formation.  Next, I would recommend trying something like knitting (to start...it's easier to learn than most needlecraft), latchhook, or ideally counted or stamped cross-stitch to develop fine motor control.  This helped me a lot and as my motor control improved, so did my handwriting.  In the end, remember, she has to have motivation to learn to write more neatly and since, in this day and age, computers are honestly the most viable option, she will probably be harder to self-motivate than I was.  Good luck with this.

Are you home schooling her? If so, I have provided some links with some ideas that may help her?\n\nIf not, you should speak with her teachers to see how your activities at home can help their activities at school. Reading her stories at night and then having her read them is a good idea.

First of all, make sure that she speaks english as much as possible.  You might want to look into hiring a tutor.  I would ask around at colleges, and find someone who is either studying education or english, as they might be willing to tutor for less than someone who is already a professional.  It might also be useful to have her read a lot of books (just try and pick ones that don't use too much slang or old english), since this can often help people recognize better how to put sentences together.\n\nYou also might want ot see if there are any English as a Second Language classes being offered where she lives.

I would love to answer your question but I need to know the age of your daughter and what you want her to learn from the activities.  It would help to know what you do for fun.  Young girls like walks where they seek neat things like the chrysalae of butterflies or where you can talk about clouds and how they are made, that sort of thing.  Older girls like to learn crafts like beading, knitting, scrap booking, making collections.  Some like to learn games or draw pictures (learning colors to learning perspective)...it just all depends on the age of the child, your interests and what you want her to learn from the activity. We all want our daughters to develop confidence, able to share, to learn honesty and be a good sport to actual expertise as she gains confidence in her work, to name a few attributes.

i had a friend with dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia... the only thing that worked for him to learn was repeated hands on teaching, he also had to be very very interested in what he was learning, because then he would try his hardest to actually comprehend the information given to him. this is a very difficult situation because most children at the age of 10-15 do not enjoy 90% of what is being taught to them.  My recommendation is to have a teacher that he/she  likes.  Someone who is willing to sit down and teach them 1 on 1 and have a lot of patience.  This person also should be very creative with the way he or she teaches due to the backwards mindset of these disorders. The ADD will make it harder to concentrate, but it shouldn't be as much of an issue if the teacher is animated as well.  I know what you are thinking... where can I find someone like that, and as for that i don't know. The one teacher's attention divided among 23 students, i think will not work

Let her use the language in a communicative way since the start, this encourages them to continue with their learning process because they feel they are actually learning something and they will be proud of sharing what they learned with their family later.  Depending on her decision as to why learn English and her actual level devise a short conversation, pick out some words you can introduce as vocabulary before you teach it to her; have her repeat the conversation after you a couple of times and then take turns being one of the persons in the conversation.  When she gets confident enough have her substitute some of the information with her own examples or add to this conversation by providing more details.  You can pick out a grammatical point from the same conversation, for example "pronouns" and do some more exercises based on that.

I'm not from jersey, but why don't you talk to you daughters teachers they should have alot of information on this, also why not trying special education, they will be able to work one on one and can work at a slower pace for her, also try looking in a phone book for help, look on your computer for areas close to your home for help, hooked on phonics and no I'm not making fun. I hope this has helped you

Hire someone or homeschool her at night and on your days off.  If you hire a babysitter for the daytime then have the baby sitter go over the workbooks that you use for homeschooling. That could be the time that she does homework or even have the babysitter teach her. Thats a good job for a college student and most would be free some times of the day. She could help you educate. It would be good for an education major.

Talk with her and her parents to find out exactly what issues she has in both subjects.  If possible, look at her report card.  \n\nOnce you know what areas you need to target, go on-line to find worksheets, puzzles, games, etc. to help her in those areas.  There are tons of free websites for teachers to use.  You can even print review questions for most books you may want to read with her.  One of my favorite sites is http://www.edhelper.com.  It has math, reading, language arts, etc.  Many worksheets are free.  To be honest, WalMart has some pretty decent workbooks at that age level, too.   They won't be quite as expensive as a traditional bookstore (which is also a good source).  \n\nMost importantly, be kind, be patient, and be encouraging.

Repetition is the key to learning at that age, which is why adults lose patience, so my first tip is to sing songs together (helps them with memory) and to develop and establish routines.  Talk about what you're doing and why you're doing it (first we do this, then we do this, then after that, we can go to the store).  \n\nI'm not sure where you are, but if you have access to Noggin, the "preschool television channel," insist on him watching only that if he must watch any television at all.  This will help you out by limiting his access to television and help you to learn for yourself what kinds of things children his age are interested in, yet are good for learning.  Visit their website for some help, too, to get started.  Pay attention to some of the games they play (matching colors and shapes, patterns, etc.).  \n\nReading stories together is a definite plus, and this summer, visit your library and take part in whatever reading program (if any) is going on.  The one here allows children as young as three to join, even if they are not yet reading, and they win prizes for participation.  Even without such prizes, the library can be a fun place for kids.  Make sure to check out a book or two of your own, so he can see that mom also likes to read and those librarians obviously like reading, and they're pretty nice people.  \n\nAnother thing to do is to have him help with chores such as grocery shopping.  Talk to him about how much to get (that's math!) and how to pay (counting money is also math).  When you cook, have him help measure and help fold laundry (that's geometry).  \n\nIf you have any sort of "lessons" for kids his age (here there are a lot of parent-and-child together things like tumbling, dance, swimming lessons, and so on), he can practice following directions in a supportive atmosphere with his mom.\n\nAs you can see, you'd be surprised how much is already around you to do that will help him be ready for pre-school.  The main thing is to talk more, break things you're already doing into steps, and set up and establish a routine.  For pre-school, the main thing your teacher will need is the ability to sit quietly (sometimes) and follow directions.  Good luck!

Mentally challenged, how? Do you mean IDEA-defined Mental Retardation (overall slow learner, also with difficulties learning communication and/or life skills)? Or are you looking at someone with learning disabilities (normal intelligence but extreme difficulty with one or more areas of academics)?\n\nIf you mean MR, you should look at the following sites for a better understanding of what MR is about:\nhttp://www.thearc.org/\nhttp://www.aamr.org/\nhttp://www.nichcy.org/pubs/factshe/fs8txt.htm#whatis\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001523.htm\n\nIf you mean Learning Disabled, you should look at the following sites:\nhttp://kidshealth.org/kid/health_problems/learning_problem/learning_disabilities.html\nhttp://www.ldonline.org/\nhttp://www.ncld.org/\n\nAs far as "activities" are concerned, for MR you should look at their mental age (NOT their current chronological age), and their next step in the developmental ladder. For instance, a 15 year old with the mental age of a 5 year old will be attracted to activities and games targeting kindergarden/first grade level.\n\n"Activities" for LD kids are the same as for their same-age peers, with modifications to support them if academic skills are needed. A 15 year old with LD in reading/writing, would be interested in any activity the other 15 year olds are doing. However, if there are written instructions, he/she would need the directions read to him/her.
