Problems you avoid (or mitigate) when using the Fundamental Skills Battery
1.School failure: Early detection facilitates intervention to prevent learning difficulties from becoming chronic and to provide an appropriate educational response.
2.Difficulties in reading proficiency and comprehension: Reading is the foundation of all learning; struggles in this area can affect performance in any subject, including mathematics. This tool can identify which skill or skills are not sufficiently developed, allowing targeted intervention to prevent an impact on reading competence.
3.Difficulties in learning mathematics: Mathematics often causes frustration because the root of the difficulty is not identified, and reinforcement is applied without understanding what is hindering comprehension. Identifying the source of the difficulty helps prevent it from becoming a long-term issue.
4.Lack of motivation and low academic self-concept: A false belief of low ability due to poor or insufficient academic performance directly affects intellectual self-esteem and, consequently, motivation. Understanding their skills, how they influence performance, and how they can be strengthened helps students feel more in control and motivated to improve.
