I'll Never Get All of That Done!

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Thanks to NetGalley, Boys Town Press and Smith Publicity for the review copy of I’ll Never Get All of That Done! by Bryan Smith and illustrated by Lisa M. Griffin. All opinions are my own. This book is scheduled to be released on February 11, 2020.

This picture book focuses on a boy named Blake. Blake keeps getting overwhelmed with all of the tasks that he needs to complete. All he can think is, “I’ll never get all of that done!” Then his mom teaches him a strategy called P’s. The three P’s are prioritize, plan, and post. Blake’s mom teaches him that strategy to help him manage things such as preparing for a bake sale, completing homework, and catching up on school assignments. The book also discusses that prioritizing means doing the things that need to get done before the things you want to do.

This is another great book in the Executive FUNction series. Many kids need to be explicitly taught time management skills and this book is a great resource for doing that! I liked that the P’s were explained a few times throughout the book because children need to see information multiple times to really let it sink in. I also liked the discussion about doing need to’s before want to’s since this is a discussion that I often have with the students in my classroom when they tell me they would prefer to do something else. Recommended for students in grades 2 - 5. Amazon affiliate link below.
