Help child finish a task; easy steps

This is great for any child, of any age, in any setting:

1) Cut up the child's work papers into smaller bits of two parts or four parts. Place his smaller work papers in a box marked "work to do." Put the box on his desk.

Parents, alert the teacher that your child's work is going to come back to school in a pocket folder, safeguarding the paper pieces.

2) When the child has completed one piece of paper, he takes it and places it in a specific "work collection" box on the teacher's desk (at home, pick a spot off your child's desk). 

Having deposited his finished work, the child picks up one star for himself (stars or stickers are already there waiting for him).

3) He takes his star back to his desk and pastes it on one square of a multi-squared piece of paper taped to his desk (looks like a bingo or a tic-tac-toe box). This is necessary at school because you are trying to help the child learn structure and get control of himself. 

4) Still at his desk, he reaches for his next small piece of work from his " work to do" box (the bit of work you have cut up for him). He starts this whole process again.

At the end of the day, the child gets to take his star-grid home.  This little process gives your child a legitimate reason to get up and move; children need this. I have used this process with very short-attention span children, also problem, impulse-driven children; it really works. 

I have created a few great books to help your child learn the tricky parts of the reading task.
All books include a special comprehension method and underline the tricky phonics so your child is sure to see them. Lots of color pictures and lessons are practiced within stories.
