Kids Who Lack Concentration and Attention

I have realized that kids who lack attention must be given easier objectives and classroom roles as leaders. An easier objective can be one that may be achieved in a shorter time. For instance, as regular learners work on a book page that takes them 20 minutes to complete, slower learners work on page items or activities step by step, receiving teacher´s feedback as they complete each item. Sometimes, teachers should sit with the student until he is done with the page item and congratulate them afterwards. Then pages or worksheets, for slow learners, should be portioned, and teacher´s feedback must be given for students to be motivated. They should be given objectives that may be achieved in a shorter time than expected from students who work faster. 

On the other hand, kids who lack concentration benefit from being classroom leaders. They must be given roles they can be successful at. This will make them a more active part of the classroom learning, consequently, motivating them to be part of their own learning. These students may pass out notebooks or materials, be judges when playing games, or even give instructions to other classmates. 

All in all, not everyone learns at the same pace; therefore, when kids feel left behind, they lose motivation. One way to motivate these learners is by giving them ongoing positive feedback after they are successful at completing portioned activities. Another way to keep them motivated is by having them act as leaders in the classroom.
