How would you help a student stay motivated?
Look at all possible ways that I can take to help the student learn the difficult skill or concept.

I let them tell me what material they need to take care of, what they may have difficulty in and what their strong at doing.

I will try to connect the subject to their personal life or my personal life for them to have an easier idea or view about the subject.
How do you help students who are struggling with reading comprehension?
I let them read a paragraph from a reading they're assigned, and ask them what vocabulary words they don't understand. I teach them to picture what is being read, what the setting is, the tone and the theme of the reading.
