Visual Schedule/Checklist

Chunk tasks into 10-15 minutes of work at a time

Use a timer to show how much time the child has left to work. You can use your timer on your phone, a kitchen timer, etc.

Try to develop and maintain a daily routine and provide as much structure as possible, notify your child of any changes to their schedule or routine beforehand, if possible. Try to keep their schedule similar to their in-person school schedule and routine (ex: wake-up, eat breakfast, work on the academic tasks in the order they attended their classes/based upon their school schedule)
