What kids do
“Earn 3 stars, then get your reward!”
Printed on the sheet:
- I am working for:
- 3 tokens, then my reward!
- Cut out the tokens:
Teacher tip
Glue the stars to bottle caps or card stock so little hands can pick them up. Three quick tokens for three small tasks builds the idea of earning.
How to use it
- Let the student choose the reward before the work begins, and put its picture on the board.
- Give a token right after the behavior you want, and say exactly what earned it.
- Model the page yourself first, then do it together, then let the student try with less and less help.
Watch for
Taking tokens away. A token earned stays earned.
Talk about it
- What are you working for?
- What comes next?
Take it further
Slowly raise the number of tokens as the student succeeds.
