Tips
for the teacher to help the left handed pupil:
When
asked to draw a picture situated on the left side
of a column or page (when the child is expected to
draw it in the right column), the lefthanded child
faces certain difficulties:
1)
Picture cannot be seen as the arm or hand cover it
2) The child is forced to turn his head several times
to view the picture and then has to re-focus on the
space where he has to draw. He will thus work slower,
make more mistakes and has to rely on his memory.
Solution:
Try
to place the picture on the right of the space where
the child is to draw. This gives him an equal chance
to perform. See below.

The
child will struggle to draw the picture in this
space. The reason - the picture is hidden under
the hand.
|
|
Place
the picture on the right side of the space where
you want the child to draw as this will make
it easier for the left handed pupil to see the
picture. If the child can see the picture, he/she
will not have to work on memory.
