Every learner represents potential. It is up to the teacher to examine the material that needs to be mastered and like a skilled tailor create the learning condition in which all students will gain knowledge and be successful in gaining greater abilities.
You should make sure that your student is completely involved in the given task. It is your responsibility to divert his attention to the learning material.

Definitely it will fascinate the child to a level suitable to learn.
