⮚ Another approach that has been proven to be
effective for students with memory and focusing
difficulties is the use of explicit instruction of
literacy skills, comprehension, and writing
strategies.
⮚ Such approach uses a step-by-step instruction
that includes modeling, providing guided practice,
as well as independent practice while giving
immediate corrective feedback so students will
understand what and how to improve.
⮚ Part of this approach is the use of think-aloud to
model concrete steps in problem-solving, such as
how to attack an unfamiliar word, etc.
