Alcoholic Parent: Its Effects on Kids “The nights that year were so difficult for Sareena. Her father was struggling with instability at work. As a result of the stress, he had started drinking every night. For a 15 years old, who had been so close to her parents, these daily fights at home between her parents and hearing the bottles crashing on the floor was nothing less than a nightmare.” Alcohol is just another drink consumed by people all over the world. A few of the many ways in which alcoholic parents affect kids are: Emotional health Environment at home contributes a lot to the mental and emotional health of a child. Sense of responsibility Children have to act far beyond their age. Embarrassment It becomes difficult for kids to take their parents to gatherings. Nor a child can prevent his parents from falling prey to alcoholism, neither can he solely make them sober.
Have Struggling or Reluctant Readers? These Hi-Lo Titles Will Keep Them Engaged Hi-lo (high-interest, low readability) books are designed to engage struggling readers by exploring complex, age-appropriate themes at a lower reading level. They typically feature simple sentences, controlled vocabulary, lower page counts, and short chapters. These attributes, in combination with well-written, fast-moving text, are intended to help struggling readers build their comprehension and fluency skills, ultimately leading to an interest in reading.

5 Fantastic Word Cloud Tools for Chromebooks Word Clouds are a favorite tech tool for classrooms. You input are large passage of text, and then a shape is created from the words, with the more frequent words displayed in a bigger font size, and the less frequent words shown smaller. This can be a great tool for many classroom activities: Students can analyze their own writing to see which words they use often (perhaps too often).Brainstormed ideas from the class can be collected to see which ideas rise to the top.Text from famous speeches and writings can be displayed in a cloud to reveal keywords and themes.Submissions from polls and votes can be imported to see the most popular responses. Thankfully there are now several excellent options that use newer technology and will run properly on a Chromebook. Tagul is the most powerful option of the tools we will examine, but is still very easy to use.
Kollegial handledning kring elever med autism och adhd | Ett stöd för lärare och länk mellan elevhälsa och klassrum Chrome App and Extension Database | Shake Up Learning There are now 150+ Chrome Apps and Extensions in this database. I have put together a Google Chrome App and Extension Database for Teachers (also at the bottom of this post) that is loaded with apps and extensions for productivity and classroom integration. If you have followed this blog for any length of time, you probably know that I love the Google Chrome web browser! The magic of that customization comes from the Chrome Apps and Chrome Extensions available in the Chrome Web Store. What are Chrome Apps? Apps are often enhanced shortcuts that optimize the website or app within the browser. What are Chrome Extensions? Extensions are installed in the browser and give you added features and abilities to customize your browser. Warning! The Chrome Apps & Extensions Database For a while, I have kept a list of my favorite apps and favorite extensions on this site, but my list just keeps growing! The database includes 150+ Apps and Extensions and is searchable and filterable. Summary Article Name

Varför är det så svårt att skriva i skolan? Del 3 – Tydlighet | ETT ANNAT SÄTT ATT TÄNKA Många elever med autism har svårt att skriva i skolan. Vad det kan bero på har jag skrivit om i ett tidigare blogginlägg. För många är ett av problemen att uppgiften inte är tillräckligt tydlig. En del saker som kan verka uppenbara för de flesta är inte alltid det för någon med autism. Därför behöver man informera även om detaljer. Min son Platon hade inte förstått att man fick hoppa över uppgifter i en läxa och gå tillbaka till dem senare. Tänk också på att det kan vara svårt att komma ihåg all information om den bara förmedlas muntligt. Här nedan följer några listor med exempel på vad man kan behöva informera om inför en skrivuppgift. Självklart måste man vara lika tydlig även när det gäller andra typer av uppgifter. Utformningen Hur många sidor/ord? Hur ska man göra? Samla ihop information på kort först? På Lärarnas riksförbund har Annika Sjödahl skrivit ett blogginlägg med fina bilder på hur själva skrivprocessen går till. Hur utför man den här typen av uppgift? Lyrik/poesi/dikter
