Talkative Students
By Theresa

Clip to ScrapBook   
Here are some ideas that may help-
Maintain a progress chart on the bulletin board recording the positive independent work of students, for questions-have students hold up a sign with a question mark on it which you can see and respond to, combine desirable activities with less desirable activities-if an activity holds the student's interest then less talking will take place, clarify reasons for the benefits of a quiet work time, allow students some free time to chat-this may cut down the talking out of turn, and during seatwork time-allow students to communicate through writing notes or whispering-abuse of this privilege will result in some predetermined consequence. I hope this helps!
