document.write( "Question 1135340: This question is not directly related a particular topic in Math. I am looking for advice on how to deal with a child who doesn't read the question properly and hence gets the answers wrong. Conceptually he is fine. However, my son, tends to not read the questions properly or pay attention the the small details in the question. For example, the multiple choice question asked to pick all the correct answers. But he probably looked at multiple choice question, assumed it was asking for the one correct answer and answered accordingly.Needless to say he got no credit for partial correct answer.

document.write( "The same applies to word problems too. I have repeatedly told him to read carefully not once but twice but it is not helping. How do I help him implement a habit to read the questions properly?
