Type: article
Abstract: This paper focuses on designing and constructing effective science resources from various materials to support preschool children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. The goal is to motivate learning, help children focus on activities, and reduce ADHD symptoms. The idea stems from the need to support five-year-old students who require more assistance from teachers as they begin formal education. Teachers must ensure both academic performance and overall well-being, necessitating appropriate pre-writing materials. An exhaustive study on preschool children’s learning and ADHD symptoms was conducted, consulting relevant authors and studies. The resulting material is a QUIET BOOK with accessories, complemented by a science syllabus to guide teachers in its use. This material was implemented in a bilingual preschool. Results showed a notable decrease in hyperactivity among students (with or without an ADHD diagnosis) when using the book or accessories. Academic performance improved significantly, and students appeared more motivated for science class compared to other subjects. It is recommended to continue using this material, as it achieves its objective and appeals to the entire classroom, increasing motivation and participation.
