Order Out Of Chaos Academic Planner 2013-2014 Review!

Order Out of Chaos was started when Leslie Josel's son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and Executive Functioning Deficiencies. Uncovering ways to get and keep him organized at home and at school became her passion … and her business. Since that day, Order Out of Chaos has worked with students – both mainstream and with learning differences - to teach organization and time management skills. We believe that organizing is a life skill – and not just for school. Their goal is for each student to take age-appropriate responsibility for their schoolwork, time and activities while eliminating the stress and pressure that comes from being disorganized. Starting with the foundation that every child learns and thinks differently, and therefore organizes differently, we create systems that are unique to each student. That's where the Academic Planner came into play.

Each book in the Alphabet Aliens series is its own adventure, focusing on a unique alien character and a particular letter of the alphabet: Alphie has an anteater whoʼs allergic to apples; Bebe was born to bounce, but not on the bed; and Coco can change color, just like her pet chameleon. The books are great to read aloud and have the added educational benefit of phonetic alliteration and the introduction of a few challenging but fun new words. There's a guide to "tricky words" in the back of each book. The books have bold retro illustrations and are small enough to be easily thrown in a bag or even a pocket.
