Checklists serve as goals, enhance our intrinsic motivation by allowing for some choice and confidence, and prevent us from over taxing our working memory by allowing us to focus on the task at hand rather than attempting to remember what we were supposed to be doing.

Here are 6 versions of checklists to choose from to print and use with your children during at-home learning: (Click on the image or caption to print.)
