IMPORTANT RELEVANT INFORMATION:

The  highlights of concern are the child's phonics and writing skills development with parental support. As the child progresses to higher classes, the content they encounter becomes increasingly complex, which may exacerbate existing difficulties.

In the early stages of education, children often learn foundational skills in phonics and writing through simple texts and activities. However, as they advance, the curriculum introduces more sophisticated vocabulary, varied sentence structures, and intricate concepts. This progression requires not only an understanding of phonics and spelling but also the ability to analyze, synthesize and articulate ideas effectively.

For a child like Sarwatman who struggles with phonics and writing, these increasing demands can lead to frustration and anxiety. He may find it challenging to keep up with their peers, leading to a lack of confidence and motivation. If the foundational skills are not adequately developed during this time, he may experience a snowball effect, where difficulties compound over time, making it harder for him to succeed academically.

Thus, parental support is crucial, it is equally important to ensure that he receives targeted intervention and resources that can help bridge the gap in his skills. This might include specialized tutoring, structured phonics programs, and writing exercises that cater to his specific needs, enabling him to cope better with the complexities of higher-level content.

Background Information

Saiaa Srivastava is currently studying in Class IX-D. While Saiaa has not been formally diagnosed with a learning disability, there have been clear signs of academic challenges since she was younger.

Strengths and Interests

Saiaa possesses notable strengths that, if cultivated, could enhance both her academic and social engagement:

Ø  Oral Communication: When encouraged, Saiaa actively enjoys participating in public speaking and storytelling, where she excels in expressing her thoughts verbally.

Ø  Creative Expression: Saiaa has a vivid imagination, often engaging with dance, music, and storytelling. These activities help her find joy and creativity outside of traditional academics.

Ø  Strong Family Bonds: Saiaa enjoys family outings, particularly when she gets to dress up and spend quality time with her parents, indicating that her emotional foundation at home is supportive.

Emotional and Social Observations

Over time, Saiaa’s emotional challenges have become more noticeable. She is particularly sensitive to criticism and tends to withdraw when corrected in front of her peers. This sensitivity may also explain her recent bursts of anger and frustration towards classmates, which stem from feelings of inadequacy in the classroom.

Academic Profile and Challenges

Ø  Reading and Comprehension: Saiaa’s reading abilities are below grade level. She often struggles to maintain reading fluency and faces difficulty in processing and interpreting complex texts.

Ø  Writing:

Writing is a particularly challenging area for Saiaa. Her written work is often disorganized, with letters, words, and sentences poorly structured. This has led to frustration and avoidance of writing tasks altogether. She writes words not in correct order. She sometimes skips the pages while writing and changes the orientation of writing.

Social Preferences and Dislikes

Ø  Interests and Likes: Saiaa has a natural inclination towards movement-based activities. Travelling with her family is another activity that brings her a sense of excitement and relaxation.

Ø  Dislikes: Writing assignments cause her significant distress, as does being called out in class.

Learning Strategies and Approaches

Ø  Certain strategies have been found to be effective in helping Saiaa navigate her academic environment:

Ø  Experiential Learning: Saiaa responds well to practical, hands-on activities.

Ø  Peer Support: Learning alongside classmates in small groups or through a buddy system provides her with emotional safety and reduces her anxiety about making mistakes.

Ø  Visual Learning Tools: Audio-visual aids such as videos, infographics, and diagrams play an important role in helping her understand abstract concepts.

Family Dynamics and Home Support

At home, Saiaa’s mother is actively involved in helping her with schoolwork. However, with each passing year, as the academic content becomes more difficult, her mother finds it increasingly hard to support her effectively.

Additional Needs and Recommendations

Formal Assessment for Learning Disability:  It is crucial that Saiaa undergoes a formal evaluation to confirm whether she has a learning disability.

Emotional Support System: Implementing a structured emotional support program, including regular check-ins with a school counselor and positive peer interactions, would help Saiaa build resilience and better cope with her frustrations.

Engagement in Extracurricular Activities: Given her love for creative expression, Saiaa could benefit from participating in extracurricular activities such as dance or drama, where she can channel her energy and creativity into positive outlets.

Conclusion

Saiaa Srivastava has the potential to excel, particularly in areas involving creative and oral expression.

Class: VII E

Age 13 Years

General Observation: Shaurya finds it challenging to keep up with his classmates, as understanding and then revisiting concepts is difficult for him. He only writes when consistently encouraged and doesn’t interact much with his peers. While he isn’t easily distracted, his lack of interest across all subjects affects his academic performance.

Strengths: Shaurya is polite and well-behaved, with no disciplinary issues.

Weaknesses: He tends to be unmotivated in writing and shows little interest in academics, sports, or games.

Support and Progress: Since Shaurya finds writing challenging, he is encouraged to write two paragraphs daily from the subject matter. This practice not only addresses his writing difficulties but also reinforces his academic understanding. Positive reinforcement is provided for completing assignments and classwork. His parents are involved, offering additional support, and as a result, gradual improvement is evident, though the progress remains slow.

Kartik is a quiet boy during the class but try to mingle with the students of the class in the absence of the teacher. He initially was not able to even answer simple questions in the class but with continuous efforts he could understand and match up with the class. After speaking to his mother it was found that few years back he lost his father so he was very traumatised and became quite after that. He is very fond of football and was often noticed with good football shoes along with his school bag. He loves to eat sandwiches and throughout the session he brought only sandwiches even after continuing reminders to the parent.

It had come to my notice that he disturbs the class unnecessarily by repeating the statement given by the subject teachers . As far as my class is concerned he is quiet but initially he tried to make weird sound in the beginning but after several scoldings he has improved a lot. Once he had touched a girl inappropriately in ICT class. And the most important thing is that he never realises his mistakes. He is good in his academics but he has no control over his behaviour. He also abused a classmate in library class.

Background:

Learning Disability:

Saiaa faces challenges with written assignments. She has difficulty organizing and visually structuring her work. She struggles to form letters consistently, leading to unclear handwriting. With the notebook book, it mean she's trying to space her writing to reduce clutter, but it may not be fully effective. The issues with jumbled letters and alignment might indicate she has difficulty processing language visually and spatially, which can make maintaining correct spelling and sentence structure harder. Her incomplete classwork could also be due to frustration or fatigue from these challenges, slowing down her writing process.

Strength:

She has strong oral communication skills and is proficient in English. Understand the instruction very well and responds too.

Behaviour in Classroom/ICT Lab :

In ICT, she struggles to respond effectively and work accurately on the computer.

She needs assistance when going to and from the classroom to the ICT lab.

In the classroom, she participates actively but sometimes speaks or shouts unnecessarily. If others are talking, she often responds by loudly telling them to be quiet, even when the teacher is present.

Sometimes she becomes overly agitated and may act out physically, even hitting a few classmates.

Here are a few observations I've noted.
