Into the book
Slow learners typically lag behind their peers by about two years.
In fact, when I met with parents of students with borderline intelligence and asked them to compare their children's developmental level or academic level with that of their peers, most of them responded that their children's development seemed to be about two years behind their peers.
What's interesting is that parents of children with learning disabilities give the same answer.
Students with borderline intelligence and learning disabilities typically develop about two years behind their peers.
---p.27

Practicing memory means that students actively use their cognitive abilities.
This is because in order to memorize something, you have to focus and look at the object, and make a special effort to keep it in your head.
Because they find this process of remembering difficult, students with cognitive deficiencies generally have difficulty remembering, and when they think about having to remember, they feel like their heads are going to explode.
---p.96

When teaching handwriting, it is important to make sure that 'writing legibly' is more important than 'writing correctly'.
Even if the handwriting is uneven, if it is written so that the reader can understand it, it is somewhat necessary to accept it as is.
Of course, if you are in the lower grades of elementary school and are learning to write for the first time, it is more helpful to help you remember the order in which you write the letters.
However, for upper elementary school students, it is important to make them realize that it is more important to write in a way that others can read than to focus on the order or correct shape of the letters.
---p.122

Students who lack the ability to connect letters to sounds may learn letters better if taught in special ways by teachers or parents.
This is because a special method can make it easier to connect visual stimuli (letters) and auditory stimuli (sounds).
For example, when teaching letter shapes, you can draw pictures that resemble the pronunciation of the letter so that the child can associate the letter with the sound.
If you draw the letter “ㄱ” in the shape of a goose and teach it as “기역” when you say the sound “geese,” you will be able to remember it better.
---p.137

In order for slow learners to actively and proactively build up background knowledge, they should be given 'direct experience' as much as possible.
It is necessary to 'design' the experience so that students can actively participate and learn about things such as how to find their way, how to reserve tickets, and the historical significance of the place they are experiencing.
Rather than blindly taking students around or making them participate in programs because it is a good experience, 'design' is to think about what students can learn from the experience and research ways for students to actively participate so that they can experience it.
Experiences arise from the little details rather than the big picture.
Parents and teachers must think carefully about designing what experiences to provide in small details.
---p.170

Estimation serves as a bridge between basic counting and more complex operations.
By developing the ability to guess (estimate) about “larger numbers” after learning basic number sense and counting, we lay the foundation for the next step of adding, subtracting, and multiplying large numbers quickly and accurately.
Our slow learners need to be taught these intermediate steps sufficiently.
Estimating is not about guessing the exact number or quantity, but rather the process of guessing the number or quantity as close to the actual quantity as possible based on one's sense of numbers.
Therefore, the accuracy of estimation can only be improved if an accurate sense of numbers is formed.
---p.211

Teachers need to develop special techniques to increase students' attention span and control impulsivity.
When providing one-on-one tutoring, you should not spare praise and encouragement, and you should create motivation for behavioral adjustment by clearly presenting rewards.
If you focus on studying for a certain amount of time, you can reward yourself with a game or some other reward, and then proceed with studying.
For students with high impulsivity, rewards provide a very clear trigger for behavioral control.
However, the price of the compensation should not be too high and it should be received immediately.
---p.242

Publisher's Review
Slow learners also need to study differently.
Reality Coaching: What Parents and Teachers Must Know

Slow learners are children who need a long period of time to learn with someone on hand to help them.
While some assistance may be provided to children as they learn, there may be areas where they can study on their own, but for the most part, children need adult assistance for long periods of time.
However, in these times when classes are being conducted online, parents need to be present at home to watch and provide assistance for their children to keep up with the class.
This is because 'slow learners' have significantly lower concentration levels.
In cases where children have many siblings or both parents work and cannot be there to help, it is difficult to properly conduct online classes.


Schools, education offices, and other institutions are recognizing the urgency of this problem and are considering how to help slow learners, while also working to train professionals to assist students.
This book was written to assist schools and education offices in researching learning support methods for slow learners, and to assist homeroom teachers and other professionals in learning instructional methods.
It is also a book designed to be a reference for parents who are concerned about helping their children who lack basic learning skills at home.


A realistic guide to raising a late-onset child.
Developing basic cognitive skills and understanding learning ability assessments

Children with borderline intelligence and learning disabilities have a greater desire to learn than anyone else, but they are often misunderstood by their parents, teachers, and peers as "children who don't like to study."
How can we help students with borderline intelligence and learning disabilities who don't feel appreciated for their passion and effort? Since these individuals aren't considered special education students, they can be helped without special education training.


This book concretizes the challenges faced by students with borderline intelligence and learning disabilities and suggests practical ways to overcome them.
By providing ordinary teachers and parents with hints on how to help students with borderline intelligence and learning disabilities, this book aims to help students learn as they wish and strive.
For example, you can specifically identify the signals that slow learners send, such as lack of concentration, slow language development, and difficulty learning to count or calculate, and you can identify which areas they are lacking by referring to their intelligence quotients from intelligence tests.


It helps to distinguish between the cognitive characteristics of borderline intelligence and learning disabilities, and to learn training to strengthen 'basic cognitive abilities' based on these characteristics.
In particular, Part 4 provides a practical guide with specific methods for identifying the difficulties of slow learners using tools to assess learning ability and how to develop a learning plan based on the assessment results.
To help slow learners, it is important to first understand what each student struggles with and what they excel at.


Korean, reading, math…
Providing effective learning methods for slow learners

As a child psychology expert who has taught slow learners for over 10 years, the author has met many teachers who complain that teaching Korean to slow learners is extremely difficult.
Part 5 introduces teaching methods that can be used in conjunction with school and home, from the principles of Hangul teaching to the correct method and order of Hangul teaching, memorizing letter-sound correspondences, practicing phonological awareness, and teaching writing.
One of the unfortunate characteristics of slow learners is that they can read sentences without hesitation, but cannot express what they have read.
Part 6 covers basic attention training, comprehending meaning through paused reading, reading aloud, and reading visually to help slow learners effectively understand the content of the text.


For slow learners, 'math' is a subject that is much more difficult to learn than reading.
It's basically because they lack a sense of numbers.
Even if you count the numbers, you just memorize them without understanding the rules by which the numbers change.
Slow learners need to build a solid foundation in mathematics by sufficiently acquiring number sense and developing an understanding and memory of number rules.
Part 7 explains effective math teaching methods for slow learners, from basic number concepts to the use of operation tools and specific practical plans for counting from 1 to 6.


A book for adults who guide children who are slow learners.
Understanding a child's psychology is more difficult than teaching them to study.

While it is certainly important to examine the characteristics of slow learners and effective study guidance methods for them, it is also crucial to understand their psychology.
The final part delves into the psychology of children, which is more difficult to teach than studying.
You can see into the psychology of slow learners in various situations and identify the cause of the problem.
The teacher provides detailed and meticulous guidance on how to teach children who cry out of fear and who have poor stamina, as well as how to identify the causes of impulsive behavior and how to select appropriate teaching materials.
This is a must-read for any adult interested in children's speech and behavior, including parents, education professionals, teachers, and child psychologists.
I hope that through this book, readers will understand the difference between borderline intelligence and learning disabilities and learn basic learning guidance methods.
I also hope that students will be able to overcome difficulties on their own through appropriate guidance methods.
