The term refers to a group of students who find it difficult to maintain a normal pace of learning compared to their peers, despite the fact that their intellectual abilities are within the normal range. Such students are often characterized by slow comprehension, low academic performance and the need for constant repetition and consolidation of information. Slow learners are not a disability, but rather a unique learning style that requires adapted teaching methods, individual support, and additional learning time. It is crucial that the teacher treats these students with understanding and patience, and that parents are involved in learning and build flexible curricula that meet their needs. The goal is to empower them to reach their full potential without feeling inferior or a failure.
