The "A, B, See's" of Reading for Children with Attention Deficit Disorder
2007-06-25 20:12:00 "It?s boring!" If children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) have a mantra, this is it. And were they to list the activities deserving of this mantra, reading would be at or near the top. In their eyes, it is the epitome of BORING. As a result, it is something they avoid and something they do very poorly. It matters little that it happens to be one of the most vital skills they can learn. Both for their welfare and for that of the nation, it is essential to bridge this chasm between what they need to do and what they are willing to do. But how? Many have sought the answer in the realm of motivation: The hope is that the children would willingly read were the material sufficiently appealing. It would be fantastic if this "Pied Piper approach" worked. Unfortunately, it doesn?t. (Given the outcome of that story, perhaps that is not all bad.) In any event, in an era of high tech, phenomenal, sophisticated, quick-paced, glitzy stimulation, reading cannot compete--when the choice i...

Holiday Attention Deficit Disorder
2006-12-21 12:19:01 I think I have some sort of Holiday Attention Deficit Disorder. I cannot concentrate on anything. Except eating. Ability to eat has remained intact, but, actually now that I think about it, I can't really say that I'll ever finish eating, so, chalk that up to one more incomplete thing. I am about to finish off the box of wankers sitting here in a gift basket. It's actually "Walker's" shortbread, but, I kept reading it as "Wankers" while it sat there in all it's shrink wrapped glory. So, I opened it. And I ate it. Keeping the Very Phallic Christmas theme alive, Busy Chatty Employee just opened the summer sausage in the basket. Have yourself a meat stick little Christmas... Yeah, anyway... I have much Christmas stuff to do, but, I can't seem to complete anything. I have no idea if I've finished Christmas shopping or not. Since the Rulers of the Night are out of school, I'm having a hard time dragging the loot out of the closet and assessing the situation. Although, if ...
