Every child is unique, so you might want to consider how your child best processes information when addressing this topic. You may want to explain that you and your child’s teachers believe that they are not learning as much as they can. Then, you could individualize the explanation by giving a simple example of what seems to be challenging for them. You could point out that each child is unique and that everyone learns in a different way. Some learn by hearing; some learn by seeing; and some learn through their sense of touch. Explain to them that assessments will show how they learn best, so their teacher can help them learn more.
