Reply: By charting their own progress and celebrating little steps of success; by knowing their strengths and their own learning styles and other ways to help themselves e.g. when and how they can learn better - at which timing of the day, using what ways e.g. mnemonics or visuals? ]]> 2019-07-17 06:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417190 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417191 More characteristics displayed by older children with dyscalculia. The characteristics as put up in the slides seems to be more for younger children. 
Reply: Older students with dyscalculia often take longer when working with numbers and may be more prone to making mistakes in calculations. 

They can also experience higher levels of anxiety and frustration. It may be harder for adults with dyscalculia to learn and recall math facts, such as times tables. 

Estimation skills can also be affected. Dyscalculia is not a reflection of low intelligence, nor does it mean an older student will not be successful working through higher order mathematical reasoning. However, many people with dyscalculia believe they are simply bad at math. 

Because math is involved in various areas of the school curriculum, from chemistry to physics, as children these individuals may have felt they were less capable of achieving success in the classroom. Over time these feelings can develop into low self-confidence and low self-esteem. 

Older students with poor math skills are more likely to suffer in terms of career opportunities and management of personal finances. There’s additionally a greater chance they are struggling with more than one learning difficulty, such as dyslexia or ADHD.

Reply:  Most students with Dyslexia will have learning issues with other languages as well, besides English. However, learning is not just about language processing, as motivation and exposure play a huge part as well. E.g. in China, due to the fact that Chinese is the mother tongue of a student and the main language used is Mandarin, there would be less hindrance to learning the language. Also if they had started positively or their parents respond positively to the language, this will also reduce the obstacles for language processing. This is a simplistic answer as there are also more to discuss as there are also other factors. ]]> 2019-07-17 06:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417202 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417203 Thank you.

Reply: Multi-sensory strategies would be most useful and to also make it more fun so that students are more willing to learn. Also colour-coding Chinese characters may help.
Many Chinese characters have semantic and phonetic parts. Semantic parts tell the reader what the word may mean, while phonetic parts tell the reader how to pronounce it. You may wish to write semantic parts in one colour and phonetic parts in another colour may help. Also to try using the spelling strategy shared during lecture. Using ICT to inspire students e.g. via duolingo app to learn chinese or https://www.saporedicina.com/english/best-apps-to-learn-chinese-on-your-smartphone-or-tablet/

Reply: Some possible strategies to help - 
  • Model the desired behavior. When the child answers a question with a one-word sentence, the teacher responds by modeling back with a full, correct sentence, so that the child hears the words in correct order.
  • Give choices. Instead of asking your child open-ended questions, the teacher can ask either-or questions, so your child has to choose the correct one.
  • Plan ahead. Teachers tell students in advance that they’ll be called on. This gives kids more time to compose their thoughts.
  • Communicate as much as is possible (to increase exposure) 
  • Make reading an interactive experience

Reply: Use APIE to analyse specific class needs; the SIOP and STP helps to highlight a wide variety of areas to take note. One good way is to use ICT e.g. self-directed learning to carve out more teacher time to support specific students at a closer range. ]]> 2019-07-17 06:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417275 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417280 how to move students w LDs towards more self directed learning after MLE

Reply: The following are some examples: 
I. To stimulate visual reasoning and learning
  • Text and/or pictures on paper, posters, models, projection screens, computers or flash cards
  • Use of color for highlighting, organizing information or imagery
  • Graphic organizers, outlining passages
  • Student created art, images, text, pictures and video
  • The above mentioned techniques often include visual teaching methods and strategies.
II. Auditory techniques
  • Books on tape, peer assisted reading, paired reading and computerized text readers
  • Video or film with accompanying audio
  • Music, song, instruments, speaking, rhymes, chants and language games
III. Tactile teaching methods
Multi sensory techniques that involve using the sense of touch are called tactile methods. Tactile methods include strategies such as:
  • Sand trays, raised line paper, textured objects, finger paints and puzzles to improve fine motor skills
  • Modeling materials such as clay and sculpting materials
  • Using small materials called manipulatives to represent number values to teach math skills
IV. Kinesthetic methods
Multi sensory methods using body movements are called kinesthetic methods. These involve fine and gross motor movements.
  • Games involving jumping rope, clapping or other movements paired with activities while counting and singing songs related to concepts.
  • Any large movement activity for students involving dancing, bean bag tossing or other activities involving concepts, rhythmic recall and academic competition such as quizzes, flash card races and other learning games.

Reply: These have been shared to a certain extent during our course. Good approaches such as the following which we have learnt
* Establish a strong TSR
* Establish a positive classroom culture / climate
* Encourage helpful hands (for students to be empowered to help in class)
* Teaching of skills e.g. anger management and self-discipline (e.g. Provide Structure (with rules and routines); Explain the Reason Behind Your Rules; Give Consequences (avoid power struggle, Follow through with a consequence if he breaks the rules, but don't yell or try to force him into compliance); Shape behaviour one step at a time using age-appropriate strategies; Praise good behaviour; teach problem-solving skills and work together to problem-solve specific issues related to self-discipline.
* Set up structures and procedures
* Organise the lesson in a way that a) First, build as many teaching strategies and interventions as possible into the lesson  b) plan one-on-one and small group strategies, design appropriate movement and allow time for social interaction and reflection time c) Be prepared: arranging handouts, preparing supplies, writing on the board and taking care of other tasks. In doing so, you can prevent pauses during the lesson and better manage your classroom]]> 2019-07-17 07:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417440 ChwaGH https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371417595 More strategies and case studies about how students with Dyslexia learning Chinese Language.

How to convince them to help their children. Education is not their priority in life, according to a parent. https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371453071 Reply: This will take efforts by the school (and even with the help of SLs if nec) to share with parents that they are very important in enabling their children to overcome their LDs.

It does take convincing and it is not an easy process. Perhaps if parents are busy, to help work out some doable support schedules that even busy parents can help with or to rely on other caregivers (with the agreement of the parents) like grandparents to support, or to have weekly reviews over the weekends if those are the times when parents are less busy and to have a reference blog or communicative log that parents can refer to, to follow up on their children's learning. ]]> 2019-07-17 14:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/371453071 elizabeth_owyeong https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372577586 2019-07-29 13:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372577586 elizabeth_owyeong https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372591225 2019-07-29 16:44:12 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372591225 elizabeth_owyeong https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372591377 2019-07-29 16:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372591377 elizabeth_owyeong https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372592911 2019-07-29 17:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/372592911 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/819198956 2020-10-11 05:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/svnx1bpx7uo8/wish/819198956
