Pendaflex Mobile File

This hanging file organizer provides a durable and flexible storage system for home storage of school papers. One the core organizing principles in SOAR® is to have a location at home for storing papers that is *easily accessible.* Students can hang this file on the back of their door and transfer papers from their binder in less than 20 seconds…with one hand! The Pendaflex Mobile File is a favorite tool among students and parents!


Binder

The binder is a critical element of the organizing process in SOAR®. We recommend that each student have ONE 1.5″ view-binder, as pictured here.


Binder Pockets

Students need to have one individual folder for each class that they are currently taking. (One package includes five folders).


Timer

As described in the SOAR® resources, a timer is an invaluable tool to help students monitor their use of time motivate them to work more efficiently.


Audio/Visual Timer

This timer allows children to visually see the amount of elapsed time AND time remaining. This is a good option for young children, children with disabilities, or children who simply do not have any concept of time. It is a bit more expensive and is not the sturdiest timer in the world, but it helps students SEE how much time is ticking away while they are off-task.

The Organized Student

This book provides extremely in-depth ideas and solutions for tackling organization. Many of the concepts and strategies are excellent, but several are a little more complicated than SOAR® would normally endorse. However, the author makes it clear that she is providing several options so students can select the strategies that work best for them. This book is intended as a resource for parents and educators who will coach students through the organizational process.
