HUB Training Do's or Don'ts

Pre-teach key vocabulary and grammar structures before assigning writing tasks.

Pair stronger students with struggling peers for peer-assisted learning.

Provide clear, concise instructions before distributing materials or starting the activity.

Assign the same task to all students without considering their skill levels.

Use symbols or color-coded markings to highlight errors and guide self-correction.

Use multisensory techniques (e.g., tracing letters, manipulatives) to reinforce spelling and writing skills.

Offer extension activities (e.g., creative writing prompts, word puzzles) for fast finishers.

Celebrate small achievements with stickers, praise, or progress charts to build confidence.

Break tasks into smaller, timed segments to maintain focus and pace.

Give out pens, flashcards, or handouts while students are still moving or not paying attention.

Ignore errors in student work or simply mark them with a tick without feedback.

Monitor students by walking around the room and providing quick, targeted support.

Use games and interactive activities (e.g., spelling bees, word-building games) to reinforce skills.

Use visual cues (e.g., pictures, charts) to support understanding and retention.

Overload struggling learners with tasks beyond their current level.

Assume all students understand the task without checking for comprehension.

Provide tiered tasks (e.g., basic, intermediate, advanced) to cater to different skill levels.

Rush through instructions or skip modeling the task to save time.

Ask students to write sentences using new grammatical structures they haven’t practiced orally.

Allow fast finishers to sit idle while others complete their work.
