Carrie often seems distracted and unfocused when Mrs. Williams is giving directions. This habit has a negative effect on her learning and academic performance. Which of the following strategies might help Carrie?
  1. Send her to the resource room.
  2. Place Carrie at the front of the classroom and make eye contact with her.
  3. Keep Carrie in for recess.
  4. Use a carrel at Carrie’s desk to help her focus.
Explanation
Answer: B-Placing Carrie at the front of the classroom and making eye contact with her may help her focus and attend to directions. A visual cue, an attention-getting object lesson, or touching Carrie on the shoulder may also regain her focus. If the problem is one of attention-seeking behavior, allowing Carrie to face the logical consequences of her behavior may be the best option.
