Lethus’ progress since she started in your class. In your report, include the following aspects; • Emotional, cognitive and behavioural factors that could have affected Lethu caused her performance?
Lethu’s Case Study:
Lethu is a 9-year-old female Grade 3 learner at a Quartile 1 school in rural KwaZulu-Natal (KZN)
Province. She was previously a learner enrolled in a former Model C school in the Gauteng Province.
In July 2022, Lethu’s biological mother demised after a long illness. Her father works as an IT
Specialist in one of the leading network companies in the country. His job involves long hours and
a lot of travelling outside of Johannesburg, leaving Lethu and her siblings with the helper.
Lethu is the oldest amongst 3 children from her parents’ union. Her father requested that Lethu
and her siblings move to KZN Iso that their paternal grandmother can take care of them. She has
twin brothers aged 4 years. Her paternal grandparents are in the middle-class economy, they reside
in a brick house with amenities such as electricity and running water, access to WIFI, DSTV, and
have their own car. Lethu shares her bedroom with her twin brothers.
However, the area that her paternal grandparents reside in does not have any schools similar to the
one that Lethu was attending in Gauteng. In her current school, isiZulu is the medium of learning
and communication. Lethu was an average student and was attending Kumon to help her in the
subjects that she was having challenges with. Recently, her grandmother, who is a retired teacher
herself has asked her father to take her to an educational psychologist for an assessment as she has
noticed a drastic decline in Lethus’ performance.

Lethu has shown significant progress since she started in my class. When she first joined, she struggled with low self-esteem and lacked confidence in her abilities. However, over time, she has become more confident in herself and her work. This improvement in her emotional well-being has had a positive impact on her overall performance in class.
In terms of cognitive factors, Lethu initially had difficulty focusing and staying on task. She would often become distracted and have trouble completing assignments. Through consistent support and guidance, she has learned strategies to improve her focus and concentration. As a result, her cognitive abilities have improved, and she is now able to complete tasks more efficiently.
Behaviorally, Lethu used to exhibit disruptive behavior in class. She would often talk out of turn and have difficulty following classroom rules. Through positive reinforcement and consistent discipline, she has learned to control her behavior and be more respectful towards her peers and teachers. This change in behavior has created a more positive learning environment for Lethu and her classmates.
Overall, Lethu's progress in my class can be attributed to a combination of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral factors. By addressing these areas of development, she has been able to improve her performance and succeed academically. I am proud of the growth she has shown and look forward to seeing her continue to thrive in the future.
