MISSION ACHIEVED: YOU ARE A MASTER OF NUMBERS!
Tracing Mission Guide Teacher Resource Tracing Mission Guide
A teacher's companion for using the Tracing Trails series with 1st-grade students who have ADHD or focus challenges.
ADHD Success Tips
Multisensory CVC: Have the student "tap out" the sounds of CVC words on their arm before tracing to build muscle memory.
Sentence Reading: After tracing a sentence, have the student point to each word and read it aloud to reinforce tracking.
Visual Scaffolding: For matching tasks, suggest using a different colored marker for each line to help distinguish between paths.
Built-in Rewards
Immediate Feedback
The "Star System" allows students to track their own progress row-by-row, which is highly motivating for ADHD brains.
Focus Recharges
Embedded "Focus Checks" provide necessary sensory breaks. Don't skip these—they prevent the student from "shutting down."

Tracing Mission Guide Teacher Resource Tracing Mission Guide
A teacher's companion for using the Tracing Trails series with 1st-grade students who have ADHD or focus challenges.
ADHD Success Tips
Kinetic Math: Use physical counters (blocks or tokens) to match the pictures on the math worksheets. Physically "taking away" blocks helps subtraction stick.
Immediate Feedback: The "Star System" allows students to track their own progress row-by-row, providing the quick dopamine hits ADHD brains need.
Focus Breaks: Embedded "Focus Checks" provide necessary sensory breaks. Don't skip these—they prevent the student from "shutting down."
Built-in Rewards
Row Rewards
Encourage the student to use a different vibrant color for each reward star to make the page look like a "nebula" of progress.
Success Cards
Hand out a card (below) at the end of a session. Laminate them for a "collectible" feel that encourages repeat engagement.
