4. Requiring 30 minutes of continuous reading each day during class.

Feedback
1. Shorter assignments will help the child focus for short amounts of time and be more successful because this is his/her length of concentration.
2. Shifting weight on the legs while standing can be enough of an activity for a child with ADHD to concentrate.
3. Color coding can aid the child to easily identify items and not become frustrated when attempting to find items in a desk or locker.
4. A classroom can have too much stimuli for a child with ADHD, and that length of time may cause the child to lose concentration.
