Helping slow learners

Helping slow learners

Helping slow learners is a priority for Catch Up Kids.  At Catch Up Kids, helping slow learners is addressed by focusing on developing emotional coping, attention planning, inhibition, memory, flexibility, self-monitoring time management, metacognition, problem solving and social skills.

The process that is followed by Catch Up Kids for slow learners can be utilized by learners who are falling behind, children attending remedial school or bridging classes and play school learners who are struggling to keep up.  At Catch Up Kids we believe that by supporting and helping learners to develop self-regulating and monitoring procedures and to develop strategies to aid them in their academics, they can complete a curriculum in the expected time frame.  Helping  learners can seem like a daunting task, but at Catch Up Kids, we believe it is very possible.

At Catch Up Kids, helping slow learners does not follow the process of a tutor doing the work at a fast pace with the child next to them trying desperately to follow.  Rather, at Catch Up Kids, helping slow learners is believed to be best achieved by equipping and helping slow learners to develop strategies that will empower the learner to excel academically and catch up with their peers.

Helping slow learners at Catch Up Kids is achieved by having a unique and individualized programme developed by a Catch Up supervisor.  This is done once extensive research has been completed by meeting up with the parents to discuss the difficulties faced by the child and by observing the child in his or her school environment.  Helping learners at Catch Up Kids is therefore an individualized process specifically tailored and then facilitated by trained individuals who will ensure that their needs are met.  The process at Catch Up Kids is aimed at producing confident, efficient and empowered learners who have been equipped with all the necessary skills they need to, not only keep up, but succeed in achieving academic demands.

The aim of helping slow learners at Catch Up Kids is to assist in accelerating your child’s learning capabilities.  We want to aid in the process of helping slow learners to become classroom experts while aiming to improve academic performance.

Helping slow learners at Catch Up Kids is a process of empowerment which strengthens the areas of weakness as well as their strengths in order to move to a state of independence.  It is a carefully monitored process which aims to help slow learners in the most effective way possible.  The programme is constantly modified and updated in workshops so that the process of helping slow learners at Catch Up Kids is always building on improvement of skills, academic understanding and success.
