[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 238662, member: 6271"] ML: oh been there done that...with the adhd who is sloppy and not descriptive I have this idea that works like adhd magic! I request the teachers modify their plan for one assignment early or soon after we meet in which they have the class submit work and instead of treating it like the final assignment return the work with these : Nice draft! Please rewrite this paper with the corrections and directions noted How does this work like adhd magic? Well they HATE rewrites and very quickly my son showed a fantastic leap in ability to write clearly the first time and to remember to embellish his thoughts using adjectives and adverbs and complete sentences. Also this works with like of shampo and repeat. As a modification for your childs learning needs the tool: rewrites lets teacher input the 'lessons' he is missing the first go. the point is to learn it, right? Can be applied to other subjects like MATH! Personally I feel in general when teachers are giving low marks with a lot of red ink and redundant directions most notably " I can not read this sloppy " and " need more description" the teachers are, in fact, missing the point of offering the corrections, even spelling, or my personal two favorites "don't rush" and "focus" when by offering their wishes on A DRAFT the teachers are giving the lesson of 'proff reading' and rewrites resulting in papers that show more of what teacher wanted to be learned. It worked for my adhd learner. he adopted a format that he used over and over and he spent time thinking about adjectives and adverbs. When he would ask "Mom how do you spell ?" I would get the dictionary and look it up and then give him the book to copy the spelling out of himself. Eventually he would look things up himself. [/QUOTE]
