Preparing multiples for assessmentThe main message multiples and indeed all children need is to do as well as you can. It may not be as well as the other multiples in the family or other children in the class but it is "your" best and shows how much you have learned this year. If there are some of the issues around reading and/or inattention/impulsivity discussed previously, then these should be discussed with the school in advance. Children with attention problems (even if they do not meet the criteria for ADHD) need help with two particular areas of exam strategy. First is time management as they often have a poor sense of time and may spend far too long on just one section of the exam. The second is to learn the exam is not a race and not to answer questions impulsively. Learning organisation strategies such as "plan, do and review" can help these children achieve their potential. |
