Trigger Memory Systems has three wonderful flip charts that help parents teach their kids how to do chores.
The first book is 'Zone Cleaning'. This little book is divided into three sections or 'Zones': 1) living room, 2) kitchen, 3) bathroom. In each section there are step-by-step instructions, written to the child, on how to clean up that particular room. The pages are laminated, have check boxes and have extra spaces for the parent to add more details.
The second book is 'Bedroom Cleaning'. This is another little book that has detailed steps on how to tidy a bedroom.
The third book is 'Laundry for kids'. This book is similar to the above mentioned books...it too is little (perfect for little hands) and has detailed steps on how to do laundry.
Each of these books have written steps in them, but they also have pictures showing the steps...which is great for pre-readers. All you need to do is hand a book off to a child and they can set to work. Teaching our kids independence is important and these charts help us to teach them independence. The only downside that I found with these books is that they are not all laminated for dry erase, just the Zone book is made for writing on.
Trigger Memory also created 'Times Tales', which is a teaching aid that uses mnemonics and stories to teach children some of the harder times tables. It covers the most difficult multiplication tables: 3x6,3x7,3x8,3x9,4x6,4x7,4x8,4x9,6x6,6x7,6x8,6x9,7x7,7x8,7x9,8x8,8x9,9x9.
When I first read through the stories I was really skeptical about whether these stories would work. The stories were cute, but I just wasn't sure that my kids would 'get it'. Well, I was wrong! My kids really took to this book. They were able to remember many of the facts after just a few days. I was impressed to say the least.
Times Tales costs $29.95 and is non-consumable.
