  Case: Frustrated
I have a student who is low level at math and reading because he doesn't get much practice at home. I make sure to give him the time necessary for I-station and ST math in order to raise his levels. Unfortunately, he gets so frustrated on the games when he doesn't get it right or has to start over. He starts to cry and hits the computer and doesn't continue to learn because of his frustration. what should I do to make sure he gets the best out of his computer time and how should I help him to avoid getting frustrated?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Just so everyone else posting knows, I -Station and STmath is a Florida state requirement and cannot be excused. (I.e. the computer games)

What I would suggest is to have physical manipulatives for the student, give them access to a dictionary or grammar sheet. And definitely give the student a brain break. They can help you with stapling for a little while, or even sit by you as you do other work.
