how do I help to improve my brothers difficulties?


Question Posted Friday June 27 2014, 10:16 am

Ok, so, my brother will be going to middle school very very soon, so I really need help to help him improve his difficulties within 2 months. He really has a lot :
- immaturity
- reading comprehension
- keeping his concentration
- writing (formulating his phrases)
- getting ideas
- perseverance
...
He's very smart, but when it comes to school, its as if he erases all the strategies he has in his head and everything. I think its principally beacause of the language. In our school, our main language if french, which im not so good in my self.
I just want him to improve. So, can somebody please give me some activities or games or whatever that'll help him improve but at the same time having fun... after all, it is summer.

You don't say whether or not French is your native language but I am going to assume since you say you are not so good at it, that it isn't! If he is relatively new to this language then the problems you describe are understandable! First of all allow me to say that I think your concern for your little brother is very admirable! He is a lucky boy to have such a wonderful and caring sister! There are quite a few web sites to help children learn french, maybe you could find some games and activities to help him with online. You might also want to ask your parents if they have any suggestions for how you could help him as well. Do you have any friends who are fluent speakers? If so invite them over as often as possible. Immersion in the language is probably the best thing for him right now. Once he really starts to "get it" then he will show more of an interest in his studies. One day it will all just "click" and you will realize that you now speak the language! How exciting for you both that you have been given this opportunity! Best of luck to you and your little brother!
