About JSPED Website

- Implement a daily schedule of reinforcement that includes specific praise and rewards for on-task behaviors, such as staying focused during reading activities, actively participating, and following instructions.

  - Break down tasks into manageable chunks, and provide frequent opportunities for success. For example, praise your child for each page or paragraph read accurately.

  - Create a visual schedule of reinforcement to outline the tasks and expected behaviors, using pictures or symbols to represent each step of the reading session.

  - Use a token board or point sheet to visually track progress and provide immediate feedback. Each completed task or on-task behavior earns a token or point towards a larger reward.

  - Establish a consistent reading routine with designated times and spaces for reading activities. Use visual cues or timers to signal transitions between activities.

  - Provide organizational tools such as color-coded folders or binders to keep reading materials and assignments organized, reducing frustration and promoting independence.

 - Break down reading tasks into smaller, manageable steps and provide clear, concise instructions. Use visual supports like checklists or task cards to outline each step.

  - Offer choices  whenever possible to increase motivation and engagement. Allow your child to select reading materials based on their interests and preferences.

 - Offer immediate, specific praise and rewards for desired behaviors and task completion. Use verbal praise, high-fives, or preferred items or activities as reinforcement.

  - Consistently reinforce positive behaviors to strengthen desired skills and encourage continued progress in reading.
