How to Read a Kindle Book Online without a Kindle!

"I'm looking for a student planner for my son who is 12 years old. He needs help with executive function and planning out his
schedule. What planner do you like the most?" -- Vicky
==================
"I picked up the Mead 5-Star Planner at Target. I like it because it has the calendar, tabs for the different months, and
the days have checklists to fill out. The cost around $9. I hope these help my boys to get more organized. They like them
so far. I purchased the college edition because the ones for younger kids looked rather flimsy." -- Kathy

"I found some neat stuff over at the Franklin Covey website this year. And then while I was at Walgreens I found one of
their planners (very nice binder type that sells for $50+) on clearance for $3.99. I bought some extra pages through
Franklincovey.com. If you sign up for emails you get a free shipping code and 15% off usually.
I bought the 'School Priorites.pad' by Buttoned Up:

"I make my own planners. This way I can customize them for each child. Here's a peek into my binder and my younger
children's binders:

Donna Young's website has great printables." -- Kristine

"I found one for $12 from Christian Light Publishers with Bible quotes on each page. It's a 52 week planner for primarily
schoolwork. Each 'week' is a four-page spread -- one page for Appointments and Weekly Responsibilities (by day), two pages
for assignments (with a check box when done) as well as an 'evaluation' section for character traits and one page for
journaling or notes.
So far my 14 year old likes it, as he can 'see' the weekly assignments spread out. As this is our first year of this active
training, I'm filling out the various subjects on a week-by-week basis. Perhaps in January I'll start asking HIM to fill out
the various subject assignments as part of an oral discussion of work needing to be completed."

"I like this planner by Rod and Staff:
www.rodandstaffbooks.com/item/1-65680/
It is inexpensive, uncluttered, and has lots of space on each page for daily assignments. It's actually for teachers but I
use it for my boys. For my 10 and 13 year olds I write-in their daily assignments, whether it's things we do together or
things they do on their own. They know what the day holds and like to be able to cross things off as they are completed. I
also have one for my 7 and 8 year olds (together in a grade) so that I know what their assignments are. That way I can look
at each child's book and know what's happening, which helps me keep my head together, too. Then I have one for myself to
write all the other things that need to be looked after -- making bread, butchering chickens, getting books back to the
library, checking my high school son's work -- you name it. It has no calendars -- just lines and boxes. I like it simple."
