There are some children with low vision. (e.g., wearing thick glasses or holding a book too close to their eyes). Being a classmate and friend, how can you assist them? For example: Bringing a printout of a paragraph with large fonts to help them read.
As a classmate and friend, I can assist children with low vision in many ways:
-
Provide printouts with large fonts to help them read comfortably.
-
Offer to read aloud instructions or text from the board.
-
Help them navigate around the classroom and school safely.
-
Ensure they sit in the front row where they can see the board better.
-
Describe visual aids, diagrams, or pictures that are used in lessons.
-
Use clear and audible signals when communicating.
-
Help organise their desk so materials are easy to find.
-
Be patient and understanding if they need extra time.
-
Volunteer to be their partner in group activities.
-
Inform teachers about their needs respectfully.
