HOPE FOR THE STRUGGLING STUDENT

Confusion! Frustration! Parents and teachers working with students struggling with reading and learning commonly experience these emotions. You may be experiencing them now.

Read, for a moment, the symptoms of these three children. As you read, you may begin feeling what both they and their parents must have felt.

Brenda is a bright and articulate child. This is where the frustration begins, because her performance is far below what is expected from a child who seems so intelligent. She frequently misspells words, reverses letters when she writes, and reads very poorly. Someone must stand over her to get Brenda to do any writing or homework at all.

Mike is easily distracted, almost never finishes a task, and causes all kinds of trouble in the classroom and on the playground. Frequently, Mike is isolated by his peers. He struggles with reading and remembers very little of what he reads. Troublemaker, rebellious, and hyperactive are often words used to describe Mike.

Randy is almost the opposite of Mike. Randy will sit for hours at a task, yet still not finish. When other students spend a half an hour on a homework assignment, it may take Randy three hours. He is rarely able to write notes from the chalkboard before the teacher erases them. To compound the problem, Randy does not follow directions very well, which serves to frustrate parents and teachers alike! It is not uncommon for Randy to be called slow, lazy or unmotivated.

Often, as you no doubt can see, it is difficult to identify the true nature of the problem. Is this an attitude and behavior problem, or is it the student struggling with a learning difficulty that is causing attitude and behavior problems?

YOU WANT ANSWERS

Powerline Programs evaluate each child thoroughly to let you know where the real problem is. When Powerline Programs pin-point the problem, parents and teachers come to a fuller understanding of the child's specific struggles and needs.

Knowing where the difficulty lies is only the first step toward overcoming the challenges that stand before the struggling student. Powerline Programs diagnostic evaluation will guide the learning process so that the specific care and attention that every child needs is given.
