It is NOT a one size fits all product so, of course, you will have to customize it. I always send the first 2 pages to parents after the initial phone call or email so they understand my background, my services, and Orton-Gillingham. The final 2 pages are used after a schedule has been agreed upon between the parent(s)

Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)
