Staying on a task and picking out what matters among things that look alike can be trained. This generator makes selective and sustained attention worksheets for ages 5 to 14, in task formats familiar from school and intervention sessions, new every time and with answers.
Student worksheet 
Answer key A grid of shapes where children cross out every one like the shape in the box. At ages 8 to 10 some shapes look very alike, such as the same arrow turned, and at 11 to 14 they look for two shapes at once. Every row has at least one shape to cross out.
Rows of numbers or similar letters to cross out what is asked. At ages 11 to 14 the rule is double: cross out a number only when it comes straight after another, which means looking at two characters at a time.
A key pairs each shape with a number and children write the number under every shape in the rows. It trains sustained attention, working memory and speed, with 4, 6 or 9 shapes depending on age.
Find the row that matches the model among others that change a shape or the order, and follow a path through the stars, the even numbers or the multiples of 3. The path is always the only one, and the answer key draws it.
Executive function with shapes: remember where each shape was, follow directions, put the steps of a task in order and circle only what the rule says, ages 5 to 12, with answers.
Emotional regulation: big or small problem, a feelings thermometer, where I feel it, a calm-down menu and my plan for anger, fear, sadness or worry, ages 5 to 14.
Self-esteem: all about me, my strengths, cards for classmates to say what they value, things I am proud of, kind self-talk, a gratitude journal and a goal in small steps, ages 6 to 16.
