The Autonomous Learner Model is very good, if you want an adaptable spiral curriculum.\n\nhttp://www.alpspublishing.com/\nhttp://www.kisser.net.au/pdeo/peac/page8.html\n\nChildren with superior or gifted-range skills need compressed and accelerated curriculum, reduction of boredom by replacement of skill drill with independent work focusing on higher-order Bloom's taxonomy skills, and metacognitive strategy instruction.

Instill a sense of work ethic and self confidence. Sounds easy enough huh? Let me break it down.......\n1. Read to them daily\n2. Stay involved in their education\n3. Support their teachers\n4. Do homework with them\n5. Positive Reinforcement\n6. Make school a priority in the home and their life\n7. Set aside time every day for school work. The same amount everyday no matter how much homework they do or do not have.\n8. Keep education going throughout the summer with fun education settings like camps or sports. \n9. Keep them physically active. Video games and TV shorten a child's attention span making school more difficult\n10. Keep them on a low sugar diet. Healthy eating aids in memory and concentration.\n\nHope this helps!

teacherlessonplans.com abcteaching.com With preschool you make the lesson plans short interesting activities. Realize that if you are teaching them to write a letters it is going to take one on one with most of them which means the class gets rowdy. You have to have a backup plan for the ones who finish early. You can plan short stories and asking questions that they can answer (they love to talk and have an opinion). The ability to concentrate four of five minutes is the norm when they work alone. You have to give lots of brain breaks. They like to sing, color, play with puzzles, paint and chatter. Things on the line of mother may I and musical chairs...they like things they can win. Good luck!

Check out the National Literacy Programme; as for each year group there are a designated list. For example Year 1 children have approxiamately 40 key words to learn.  In Year 2 this is built upon and added to.\nHope this helps.

Here are some sites for you to look over:\n\nhttp://www.laureatelearning.com/parents/LLSinfo/newspar/tariqnews.html\n\nhttp://www.linguisystems.com/itemdetail.php?id=483\n\nhttp://autismcoach.com/Software%20Overview.htm\n\nhttp://do2learn.com/aboutus/research/languagegames.htm\n\n\nAs far as getting him to talk to express himself. Always give him two choices. Say the words for each one. Give him the thing he says first.\n\nFor example, if he likes grapes and apples, at lunch time have some grapes, and an apple ready.  Show him both, and say the name for each. Whichever word he says first, give that fruit to him. If he changes his mind, don't give him the other one until he says the name. Pointing to each, say the names until he says what he wants. Him pointing, screaming, or trying to hijack the fruit are not what will get him what he wants... only saying the word. \n\nTry to do this with as many activities as you can... always two choices of things he likes, and he has to say the name of what he wants to get it.\n\nThat's the first step, anyway.

You didn't give enough information.  What are the child's special needs?  Emotional problems?  Physical disability?  Learning disability (and what kind)?  Some combination of the three?  Also, are you looking for a public school system with a program for your child, or are you looking for a private (tuition-based) school?  Does it matter whether it is residential or day school?\n\nRe-ask your question, and you may be able to get more useful answers.   Good luck!!\n\nADDED LATER:  Okay, now that I know that you are interested in learning disabilities, I have the following resources for you in Kansas:\n\nName: Kansas/Western Missouri Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (Parkville, MO) \nHotline type: International Dyslexia Association \nContact phone: 816-838-7323 \nContact email: info@ksmoida.org  \nURL: http://www.ksmoida.org \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName: Learning Disabilities Association of Kansas (Overland) \nHotline type: Learning Disabilities Association \nContact phone: 913-897-5063 \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nName: Learning Disabilities Association of Kansas (Topeka) \nHotline type: Learning Disabilities Association \nContact phone: 785-273-4505 \nContact email: marciasu@aol.com  \nURL: http://www.ldakansas.org \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nName: Learning Disabilities Association of Shawnee County \nHotline type: Learning Disabilities Association \nContact email: arussell@topekacollegiate.org

To think of expectations, write a list of attributes you'd like your child to have once he graduates, and how a school can support these things.  Thumb through the dictionary and look up words that describe how you feel-you can also use s thesarus if you'd like to add in a few 'sparkly' words (not too many!).  Have your child come up with a list of what he wants out of school and maybe select the top three to embellish upon.  I couldn't find it now, but there are lists of 'action words' that are suggested for resumes- you can probably use the same list to describe your desires for your child's education.\n\nTo get you started, as a parent, you'd probably like a:\n\nSafe, caring school environment that encourages academic and personal growth.  You might also like a community where parent participation is encouraged and supported by faculty and staff.

Don't resort to the internet for your daughter's activities. It's great that she's an avid reader - keep checking out library books for her. Check out or buy good videos, as well. You could get her some basic art supplies and she can sketch and paint. She can learn to bake bread, and cook meals, using cookbooks. She can learn to knit or do needlepoint. Get her involved with learning an instrument - piano is ideal, but a flute or violin would be great, too. If you have the financial means, hire a language tutor to teach her a different language - Spanish or Chinese would be useful choices for her future. You sound like a good parent!

Try taking the advice given here. Be prepared to march down to the school a lot to try to get this taken care of. Your grandkids CAN learn! Then, if none of that works, consider homeschooling, or have the parents consider homeschooling, whichever is more appropriate. Like some of these teachers said, they are trained to educate regular student, not special children. I know a boy with FAS and a myriad of other diagnoses, and when he was eight years old, he snuck out of a locked campus and was halfway home before his grandma was called and told he was missing. He had walked about five miles. Homeschooling gives you the advantage of knowing your grandson's individual problems. There are so many different types of problems going on in a special ed class, that I don't blame the teacher for being overwhelmed. Most special ed kids excel once they start being taught at home because they are in an environment they know, with loving caregivers who understand the complexities of their own disorders, and are able to work at their own pace. There's no distractions like there are in a classroom. It just seems to work. There are several place you can turn to to learn about homeschooling kids with special needs. Check yahoo groups, there's a lot. I'm on HS-Plus, and it's a really good group. Lots of different disorders being dealt with, FAE/FAS is a big one, so you'd get lots of help. I homeschool my autistic pre-schooler, and will be homeschooling my 'normal' little one, and any others that come along. Contact me if you'd like, I'd be more than happy to talk to you some more.

you should use a rubric based on what you expect the child to be able to know or understand by the end of the unit, regardless of which of the intelligences or choices within the unit the child has taken part in.\n\nYou should read books by Howard Gardner, Thomas Armstrong and others on the topic:\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/046501822X/104-6847218-3390327?v=glance&n=283155\n\nhttp://www.thomasarmstrong.com/books_videos.htm#Multiple%20Intelligences%20in%20the%20Classroom\n\nhttp://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr054.shtml

The best depends on your child...no one can tell you what's best for your family!!! Read All Kinds of Minds, figure out what kind of learners they are. You would choose totally different curriculum for a child who is a visual learner than for a child who is a kinesthetic learner. \n\nRemember that kids in first grade tend to be more hands-on learners anyway, and keep in  mind that just because a child is in a certain grade, that doesn't mean that it's the age of curriculum you should buy. If your 8th grader is behind, you need to start where their knowledge ends, or you create a lot of frustration.\n\nFirst thought is to check local bookstores, Barnes and Noble and Borders both have an extensive homeschooling section. also check out Mardel's Christian bookstore. While much of their curriculum is Christian based, they also have much that is not. You can look through it and see if you like it, and it's easy to return.\n\nAsk your local homeschooling group if they have a curriculum fair coming up...that's an opportunity to really peruse the different ones and get your hands on (there's nothing worse than buying a curriculum and opening and seeing that it's not what you expected...unless it's buying the curriculum and it doesn't work for your child anyway!)\n\nOur town also has a curriculum exchange, so you can go to a bookstore setting, and you get credit for what you bring in, and as well the books/items are much cheaper than new.\n\nAlso see if you have a yahoo hs'ing group in your area, on ours lots of people pass stuff on for free, or will let you borrow it to see if it works.\n\nOne thing more, if your 8th grader has been miserable in school, you might look into deschooling so that he/she can catch their breath, and recapture their love of learning. Google it and you'll find lots.\n\nM

It is up to you what you teach. A child upto certain age can learn\nupto15 languages simultaneously. i feel a child is born very intelligent.Repetition of any study material will make him very intelligent. i suggest whatever you see speak to him.e.g. observing the colours around him,sounds of animals ,birds, ambulance, fire engine etc... more you talk more he will learn. Take him to the vegetable vendor,grocer, super market show him everythig there after a few days you will be amazed to see him showing U.Same rule applies to Maths also .
