  • During learning, a child makes mistakes willingly-unwillingly or due to some alternative conceptions.

The characteristics of remedial teaching are as follows:

  • It can be used for improving language skills.

  • To rectify a particular problem area, it can be used. For example, a student is confused about the pronunciation of 'no' and 'know', he can be taught the concept of silent letters.
