About this worksheet
Six reward spots, one for each side of a die, a list of reward ideas and a paper die to cut, fold and tape.
What kids practice
These are tools for kids who find it hard to start, plan, stay with or finish a task. In 3rd grade, homework gets longer, projects stretch over several days, and kids are expected to work on their own for longer stretches. These sheets keep the extra paperwork low. Kids color, roll and check instead of writing, see a win right away, and earn rewards they picked ahead of time. The brain parking lot clears out busy thoughts so there's room to work. They can help many children, with or without ADHD. They are not a test and not a diagnosis. If attention worries you at home and at school, talk with your child's doctor or teacher.
Watch for
- Making the goal too far away. Start with sprints and rewards your child can reach today.
- Taking away a reward that was already earned. Once it's earned, it stays earned.
- Adding writing to the tools. The point is less work, not a second assignment.
- Using the same reward every time. A little surprise keeps it exciting.
- Treating trouble with focus as laziness. Your child is working hard to pay attention.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full focus helpers (adhd-friendly) guide for 3rd grade.
