How do I do it:
- Give the student a different colored folder for each subject or have the parent purchase these for the child
- Sit down and organize the child’s work into the folders, writing done on one side and to do on the other side
- Teach the student what to do with the folders and how to use them
- Daily or weekly have the student reorganize their folders if they get messy and disorganized
- Have the parents daily check the students folders with them and organize assignments in them
