Lash (2000) suggests reducing distractions in students work area (i.e. removing
extra books, pencils etc.); dividing work into smaller sections that will enable students complete one section at a suggested time and with specific expectations; asking students to summarize information that has just been presented orally; using cue cards to alert students to pay attention including words like “look,” ”listen,” or calling the student’s name); establishing a nonverbal cueing system like eye contact and touch to remind students to pay attention, as strategies that could be help in the classroom.
