When a learner cannot read the board

Signs to look for, and what to change straight away.

A learner who copies from a neighbour, squints or leans forward may be having trouble seeing the board.

Move them to the front and away from window glare. Write large, leave space between lines, and read aloud what you write.

If the difficulty continues, use Tambua to screen the learner and talk to your head teacher about a referral for an eye check.
