This was so cute and really broke down executive functioning for my student in a way that was not only kid friendly but really resonated with him
Truly fantastic resource. My first graders really enjoyed the story. I did break it up over two days due to the length but they understood the working memory function!

Why Teach Executive Functioning Skills?

Executive functioning skills are the basis for planning, organizing, initiating, and following through will all tasks, assignments, and problems. We use these skills both inside and outside of school. Many students who forget assignments, are disorganized, can’t complete long-term assignments, have trouble focusing, and experience difficulty with change often have weak executive functioning skills. These are the students who need to be taught explicit skills in order to become successful in school and in life after school. Simply put, executive functioning skills are necessary life skills.
