Problems you avoid (or mitigate) when you use Fundamental Skills 3

1. School failure: Early detection favors intervention to prevent learning problems from becoming chronic and thus provide an appropriate educational response.


2. Problems in reading mastery and comprehension: Reading is the basis of all learning, and difficulties in reading can affect performance in any subject, including mathematics. This tool can detect which skill or skills are not sufficiently stimulated to influence it and prevent it from impacting on your reading skills.


3. Problems in learning mathematics: Mathematics is often rejected because the origin of the difficulty is not identified and it is reinforced without taking into account what is hindering its understanding. Identifying the origin of the difficulty prevents the difficulty from becoming chronic.


4. Lack of motivation and low academic self-concept: A false belief of low ability due to low or insufficient academic performance directly influences intellectual self-esteem and, therefore, motivation. Becoming aware of their abilities, how they influence their performance and how they can be stimulated, fosters their perception of control over themselves and their motivation for change.
