Working Memory Pupil Checklist for Kodah

Kodah demonstrates strong working memory in several areas. He does not require repeated instructions or reminders for multi-step writing tasks, and he can retain his thoughts when raising his hand and respond well to teacher questions. He exhibits persistence with challenging tasks, independently uses visual supports, and avoids repeating words in his sentences. He also shows good concentration abilities and consistently finds number-related tasks easy.

Kodah sometimes needs reminders from the teacher when transitioning to the next step of a task and benefits from breaks during lengthy jobs. He may forget what to do if he returns to a task started on a previous day and sometimes appreciates teacher assistance with long assignments. He can occasionally lose his place in complex activities, though he is sometimes able to remember multiple instructions consecutively. While he sometimes finds writing and spelling easy, he occasionally struggles to explain tasks to others and may seek help from peers if unsure.

Kodah acknowledges that he often asks for help. He specifically identifies spelling as a tricky area, stating, 'I know it’s wrong.' He also notes that he struggles with comprehension tasks, which can take him significantly longer, sometimes 10-15 minutes extra.
