Resource List

Below are some of our favorite academic supports.

Reading Guide Tools

These reading guides are a game changer when it comes to making reading more fun and engaging! Assorted colors and sized guide strips assist your child in keeping their place and staying focused while reading. Use the larger guide for older students who have larger blocks of text to read. The cute highlighters are meant to be used to highlight tricky words. Encourage your child to come back to those tricky highlighted words after they read and see if they can figure them out!

100 Chart Pop It

The 100 Chart Pop It material is a fun and useful tool in developing number sense, recognizing number patterns, and improving fact fluency. Use this tool just as you would with a 2D hundreds chart! Your child will love using this, we guarantee it!

Base Ten Blocks

Base Ten Blocks are a must when it comes to developing your child's number sense, place value skills, and visualizing critical computation skills such as addition/subtraction with regrouping. This set is wonderful because it is double sided to grow with your child as they learn about  three-digit and four-digit numbers. Your child now has a tool to help during homework time!

These adorable and effective Follow-Along Friends are wonderful for early readers! The Finger tool plus the highlighted bar help your child follow along while reading in a fun and engaging way!

Magnetic Ten Frames

Develop your child's number sense and computation skills with these magnetic ten frame sets.Utilize the front of each paddle for numbers 0-10 and the back for 0-20. The two-toned magnetic pieces will help expand your child's understanding of different ways to compose numbers.

Reading Comprehension Dice

These reading comprehension dice  are a wonderful tool to spark discussion after reading a book! Children can answer questions orally or in written form. This is a great way to check-in for comprehension in a fun way!

Magnetic Fractions Set

Develop a deeper understanding of fractions utilizing these magnetic fraction sets. We love the multisensory component as well as the representation of fractions as parts of a circle as well as bars.


Here are some of our favorite products to build good habits.

Sticky weekly planner

This is a great resource to use with children in elementary school to help them manage their time. Add post-it notes to each day with your child's activities and assignment. Have fun throwing away each note as the activity is completed.  

Weekly planner for families

This calendar is a great tool for families to use as a way to develop perspective taking and respecting others' time. Add a specified color post-it note for each member of the family and their accompanying activities.

Monthly Planner

This calendar is a great tool for children in middle school, high school, and beyond. Use with post-it notes to help your child visualize, plan, and manage their time in a concrete manner. 


Visual Timers

Visual timers are one of the best tools to help your child develop a better sense of time awareness and management. Time Timer has a wide variety of timers to meet your needs; from small to large, magnetic to freestanding and even an app, these timers are a must! Making time concrete, visual, and displaying time remaining helps your child connect time elapsed, present time, and future time remaining. 

Clear bins with labels

These clear bins help your child keep their materials more organized. Remember, children with weak EF skills live in the here and now. Meaning, "If I can't see it, it doesn't exist!" Help them by creating systems that are more concrete and visual. 

Wall hook and bin

Using this system for organizing your child's backpack and items they will need for school will help your child develop independence when leaving for school. Make sure to hang the hook at your child's eye level! They will be able to self-assess if they are ready for school. Take a photo of them looking ready for school and post next to their materials to boost their procedural memory! 

Accordion folder

This folder helps children with many paper materials from school to help them stay organized. If possible, organize each class/subject by color. For example, if your math notebook is blue, your tab in the folder should also be blue. This is a great tool for adults too :)! 

Erasable Highlighters

Color is one of the most effective forms of organization and recall. Utilizing highlighters of varying colors will help prioritize important information and salient details when completing homework assignments and other writing tasks. What's even better? These  highlighters are also erasable! Help your child develop strong executive functioning skills and minimize frustrations with this amazing product.

Dry Erase Pockets

Dry erase pockets are an amazing tool to display and protect visuals, schedules, checklists, and more! These are a fantastic resource to reinforce and practice academic and Executive Functioning skills. Hook these display pockets all around your home at your child's eye level and see how quickly they are reminded of their routines, schedules, skills and more!
