Q: How to know or distinguish the students who need remedial teaching?

A: I hope your school has been taking unit test. If so, you will get three types of children every time you evaluate their answer scripts after unit testing -
a. Above average scoring more than 60% marks
b. Average scoring 40-60% marks
c. Below average who scored less than 40%

Now the teacher has to decide (c) group is the most poor with dire need of remedial teaching. The teacher also have to care (b) group because the students in this group also not performed well.

After finishing the grouping of students, the teacher's next activity is to analyse the answer scripts of the students falling under (c) &(b). This analysis guide the teacher to know where a child needs remediation. Suppose an answer script of a student of Class X in English subject shows very less score in Writing Section then the teacher has to focus on writing practice during remedial class. In the same way, an answer script of Class V student in Math subject shows incorrect solutions in Simplification, then the teacher has to make him practice  BODMAS.

However, in doing this the teacher should not neglect the students of group (a) because they too have to sustain their standards. So let them be in the class, participate in group activities designed for remedial teaching. This helps them to revise their lessons and ensure deeper understanding of already learned concept.

PRECAUTION: Do not reveal this grouping to students.
