For students with learning difficulties, evidence-based practices (EBPs) are invaluable tools that can enhance learning outcomes and provide the individualized support these students need. In this article, I’ll explore effective EBPs that teachers can adopt to support these learners and create more inclusive classrooms. 👉 Explicit Instruction Explicit instruction involves breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps, providing clear explanations, and modelling the desired outcomes. This practice is especially beneficial for students with learning difficulties who may struggle with abstract concepts or unstructured learning. Application ✍🏾️ Use “I do, we do, you do” frameworks for teaching. Provide guided practice before moving to independent work.

Here are some examples of play activities that can be incorporated into learning 👇🏾 🤣 Role-Playing Children can act out different characters, historical events, or real-life situations, which helps with social skills, empathy, and understanding various concepts. 🤣 Building with Blocks or LEGO Constructing with blocks promotes creativity, spatial awareness, and problem-solving. It also teaches basic engineering concepts and fine motor skills. 🤣 Educational Board Games Games like Scrabble, Monopoly, Chess, or Number Bingo make learning vocabulary, math, and strategy fun. These games also encourage turn taking and critical thinking. 🤣 Outdoor Play Activities such as scavenger hunts, hopscotch, or obstacle courses help develop motor skills and can be used to reinforce subjects like science (exploring nature) or math (counting steps or objects). 🤣 Puzzle Games Puzzles improve logical thinking and concentration. Word puzzles can be used to expand vocabulary, while jigsaw puzzles enha...
