More reliable than memory

Don’t hold in mind what paper or a device can hold for you.

• Write out the steps for solving math equations
• Create checklists and to-do lists
• Set reminders in an online calendar or phone
• Use a graphic organizer before writing
• Write down homework assignments in an agenda book

Using paper or a device to hold important information helps ensure your child won’t lose track of anything, while freeing their mind to attend fully to whatever it is they’re doing in the moment.
