Start off slowly, and gradually build up until you say them at normal conversation speed. When speaking them, exaggerate the words, making your tongue, jaw and lips work hard. As you become surer of them, begin to project your voice and exaggerate the words more. This helps you gain skill.

3-    Have a conversation with yourself in front of the mirror                     

It may sound silly, but it does help. Again, exaggerate your words as you speak

Cocentration Problem

Possible causes                                                                                                                        

In younger children, lapses in concentration could be caused by:

 

Lack of sleep

If your child is tired she won't be able to concentrate so put her to bed at a reasonable hour. Aim for her to get about nine hours' sleep a night.

Personal circumstances

Your child will find it easier to concentrate when she is not troubled or anxious about something such as falling out with friends, or is having difficulty getting along with her teacher.

 Motivation and interest

She will be able to concentrate for longer if she's interested in what she's doing.

 Health

A weak immune system, dehydration and bad eating habits could all contribute to poor levels of concentration. Make sure that she takes a multivitamin and mineral supplement every day.

 Surrounding conditions

A lot of activity, noise, or a television that is always on does not contribute to the calm atmosphere that is needed for high levels of concentration.

 Distracted teens

If your teenager's mind is always elsewhere, this could be why:

 Lack of sleep

Encourage teenagers to go to bed and to get up at roughly the same time every day.

 Personal circumstances

Similar to younger children, being anxious or troubled about issues at home or at school, or with friends, could lead to low levels of concentration.

 Lack of motivation

Getting them to be interested in the subject will make a huge difference to their levels of concentration.

 Teacher trouble

When children do not like a teacher or have a problem with a particular teacher, they usually do not perform well.

 Health problems

Concentration could be affected by regular illness due to a lack of medication for a chronic condition such as asthma, or because of a weak immune system and an unhealthy diet.

 Lack of exercise

This could make children lethargic and tired, and they won't be able to concentrate, especially after lunch.

What is slow learner

Question -What is slow learner? 

Answer :-

 A “slow learner” is not a diagnostic category, it is a term people use to describe a student who has the ability to learn necessary academic skills, but at rate and depth below average same age peers. In order to grasp new concepts, a slow learner needs more time, more repetition, and often more resources from teachers to be successful. Reasoning skills are typically delayed, which makes new concepts difficult to learn. 

Question:-How we identify them?

Answer :-

The characteristics of a slow learner are: 

1. Functions significantly below grade level. 
2. Is prone to immature interpersonal relationships. 
3. Has difficulty following multi-step directions. 
4. Lives in the present and does not have long-range goals. 
5. Has few internal strategies (i.e. organisational skills, difficulty transferring and    generalising information.) 
6. Scores consistently low in achievement tests. 
7. Works well with "hands-on" material (i.e. labs, manipulative activities.) 
8. Has a poor self-image. 
9. Works on all tasks slowly. 
10. Masters skills slowly; some skills may not be mastered at all.

Question : - What I do after my child have slow learning problem  ?

Answer :-

Here are some tips on how to work with slow learners: 

• Reduce distractions by providing a quiet, private place to work. 
• Emphasise strengths. Use lots of praise and reinforcement frequently. 
• Make lessons short. Limit the working time and have several short work periods rather than one long one. 
• Add variety to the academic routine. Do active things and use educational games, puzzles, and other techniques as much as possible. 
• Work on material that is somewhat challenging but allows success. Work that is too hard or too easy is a turn-off. 
• Make learning fun and comfortable. Your positive attitude is very important. 
• Encourage your child to talk to you. Ask what he did in school. Ask what was the best part of his/her day. Ask questions about the TV shows he/she watches. Talk about what he/she has heard, done, and plans to do. Communicate with your students. 
• Go over his/her daily work to reinforce the learning. Slow learners need repetition. 
• Provide meaningful, concrete activities rather than abstract ones. 
• Give short, specific directions and have your child repeat them back to you. 
• READ! Set an example by reading yourself. Read to the student and have the student read to you. 
• Work closely with the teacher to help strengthen academic areas that are weak in school. 
• Stress the importance of education. 
• Encourage the student to explore an area of interest to him/her.
