Traditional school methods for developing reading and writing skills in kids might not work for kids with ADHD.
- Does your kid avoid reading?
- After reading something can your kid tell you about what they read?
- Does your kid groan at the mention of writing an assignment for school?
Once we can see the obstacles in the learning process we can start creating a new approach.
- Spend time together exploring new ways to approach the situation
- Include your kid’s favorite topics in reading and writing at home
- Partner with your kid in their learning so you can compliment them on their progress and know where they struggle
Read about the strategies below for ideas you can use at home to make reading and writing make sense with the kid’s ADHD brain.
