Rewards charts are a great tool to use for improving and changing children’s behavior especially effective for special needs education.
If you are here :
- You want to experience another form of education, focused on the positive rather than the punitive and restrictive
- You have tried tightening the screw, but it does not work and you want to try a new method.
The idea behind reward charts is to offer challenges, goals, or tasks in exchange for something that makes the child happy. This type of system turns punitive intervention into positive reinforcement making it easier to get the child’s involvement and engagement.
This tool helps teachers and parents alike to set specific objectives in terms of behavior and work with, and not against, the child towards them.
In terms of rewards, we include in the free printable, pictures of rewards that children enjoy the most. It’s important to keep in mind that when the child achieves his goal, he must be immediately rewarded. By doing so, the brain registers a strong link between the act and the reward.
This free printable reward chart includes many of the rewards the kids look forward to, it’s easy to set up and explain to the child. To get started, just print the file and laminate it using a laminator to increase its lifespan. Then cut out the reward chart, the rewards, and the stars and you are all set.
