Dr. Klingberg is the professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He has done extensive research into the problems children with ADD and ADHD cope with while learning to focus their attention on a task.
His findings are useful for helping all children learn to process information and keep their attention on the task until it is finished.
His evidence shows ADD and ADHD to be very real conditions. He suggests these specific steps for the early and repeated training of a young child, and especially for children who may have had a less than perfect APGAR number at birth:
My reading instruction books are based on this information. My books start with an easy comprehension method because it is concrete for your child.
All tricky letter teams like ce that says s are in bold type in the words of the stories. This makes it easy to see them and learn them. All my books teach through stories with lots of color pictures. I use eBay as my website. Search Instant Reading Help all my books will pop up for your consideration.
Dr. Klingberg's book is a wealth of researched information: The Overflowing Brain, Klingberg, MD; PHD (2009). Oxford University Press; Inc. New York.

Dr. Klingberg is the professor of cognitive neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He has done extensive research into the problems children with ADD and ADHD cope with while learning to focus their attention on a task.
His findings are useful for helping all children learn to process information and keep their attention on the task until it is finished.
His evidence shows ADD and ADHD to be very real conditions. He suggests these specific steps for the early and repeated training of a young child, and especially for children who may have had a less than perfect APGAR number at birth:
1) give the child one direction at a time and wait for the child to complete it
2) give the direction in a short and specific sentence
3) when giving a series of directions, repeat the important parts (when giving an assignment to a group of children, allow three or four minutes to pass, then again announce the steps)
4) when possible provide the child with visuals, like check lists
Dr. Klingberg recommends that after firmly and repeatedly establishing this training, the adult slowly increase the complexity of the direction by using a longer sentence, or more sophisticated vocabulary. Eventually, give a two sentence direction, and so on.
His point is that your child's brain must be trained to a more sophisticated level of concentration and organization for the more challenging work the child will encounter in his future.

Successful ADHD treatment engages the prompt detection as well as extensive analysis of the condition. Supervision of parents and counselling about ADHD help make the condition more manageable.
