What kids do

Printed on the sheet:
- 1. Count to 10 to make a star.
- 2. Count to 10 to make a boat.
Teacher tip
Count out loud together while the pencil moves. If a number is missed, go back to 1 and touch every dot in order before drawing again.
How to use it
- Tape the page to the table or a slant board so it does not slide.
- Keep sessions short: five good minutes beat fifteen tired ones.
- Share a copy with families and therapists so home, school and therapy match.
Watch for
Frustration with the hardest lines. Stop at the last line the student can do well.
Talk about it
- Was it easier to go fast or slow?
- What helped you do that by yourself?
