A focus on individual attention
The Remedial Unit at John Wesley School caters for learners in Grade 1 to Grade 4 who may need extra assistance with Mathematics and English.
There is a maximum of 8 learners per remedial lesson. This enables the remedial teacher to give individual attention where needed.
The Grade 1 learners receive remedial attention in their classrooms, whereas the Grade 2 to Grade 4 learners are taken out of class for a double lesson in English and Mathematics per week.
The focus of these lessons is mainly on the specific areas/concepts that the learners have not grasped yet.
The learners do specific tasks to improve their comprehension, these include playing educational games, activities and written work.
Our remedial teacher, Mrs Michelle Pretorius (pictured left with her learners) has over eight years of experience in remedial teaching.
She is constantly updating her skills in this highly specialised area of teaching.
Mrs Pretorius creates a comprehensive remedial plan for each child by working closely with the child’s teacher and parents, as well as by consulting with specialists in the field.
She uses a variety of teaching and learning resources and, through her skills and commitment, ensures that all John Wesley School learners are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
A child participating in the Remedial Programme attends one hour of Remedial English and two hours of Remedial Maths per week.
These lessons are structured so that they do not interfere with regular classwork.
