Have a ton of independent work tasks at your fingertips! You can use them to keep students engaged more independently at different times during the day.

These tasks are great for preschool or kindergarten center work, independent work systems or structured work systems with autism or in special education, and for any time that students need to be engaged on their own. I often use them during instruction to have students practice skills for generalization and maintenance while I work with another student in a small group. What's Included?
