隨著英語教學的加深加廣，教學素材的擴充就更顯得重要。也因應政策與教學趨勢，繪本成為英語教師們深感興趣的選擇。然而，繪本融入英語教學會有哪些需要注意的地方呢？前置作業為何？選書方向？課堂中使用中英文的訣竅？...等，相信都是英語教師想知道且真正受用的資訊。

本期教學診療室，邀請到繪本與英語教學的人氣專家李貞慧老師，提供繪本帶入教學的專業分享。在此之前先來看看 Caves Connect 動指小調查的結果：
◆選書
進行繪本英語教學前，選書非常重要。這個前置作業不能因有專家介紹，老師就照單全收，而是需要多花點時間找出適合的書籍。以下提供三大挑選方向：

1. 符合學生英語程度： 如果選擇繪本的英文生字過於艱深，對學生來說，進入繪本會較費力，難免產生抗拒，當然也不能過於簡單；建議選擇比學生程度稍微難一些的作品，讓學生透過繪本，既可學到東西，又不會因為跨不過英文門檻而放棄。這需要老師多花些心思。

2. 考量學生心智年齡： 如果選擇符合學生程度的繪本，但內容卻是針對別的年齡段，會讓學生覺得無趣。如：讓國中生讀一本為幼童設計的繪本，學生看前面就猜完整個故事，缺乏起承轉合的閱讀趣味；學生自然會覺得繪本太簡單、很無趣，只是給小小孩看的讀物，進而懷疑為什麼國中了還要看繪本。一旦對繪本產生這樣的感受，就會覺得老師只是拿繪本來輔助英語教學，不會因此喜歡上繪本閱讀。

3. 考量主題相關性： 試著跟著課程主題來選擇繪本。如：課文講到海洋污染，可以選跟海洋、垃圾議題有關的繪本來拓展學生對議題的認識。藉由繪本閱讀讓學生看到課本以外的相關文本，思考議題的同時，更可從多角度切入。

老師的帶領很重要，如果老師每頁都走馬看花，學生就會覺得繪本只是圖大字少，不需幾分鐘就可看完，因此忽視繪本其實可以深度閱讀。透過老師的深度帶引導，學生讀到的會是繪本的重要細節。提醒老師在教學前多做功課，可以透過網路上專業的繪本書評，補充自己在看繪本時忽略的一些面向，對繪本了解也會更深入，給學生的東西就會更豐富。 繪本教學時，老師用心的程度到哪裡，學生的受益就到哪裡。

不管在講座或是課堂中，筆者喜歡在帶讀繪本的過程中，以提問的方式帶參加者或學生思考問題，如：為什麼故事要這樣呈現；或是透過引導讓學生從繪本中的文字或圖像細節，試著推論接下來的故事發展。記住， 時機良好的提問可以讓學生更深入思考 ，也把繪本看得更細膩、讀得更深入。

英語繪本帶讀時，無論是教師自己朗讀，或帶學生朗讀，都建議以全英語來進行（當然也可依授課學生的程度做調整）。如果中間老師想透過問題來帶領學生去思考或關注，可以透過簡單的英語提問，但切記 不要立刻要求學生一定要用英語回答，而是自在的用熟悉的語言來回答 。畢竟使用母語，不管在詞彙或表達的流暢度，都比較駕輕就熟，才不會因為礙於詞彙的貧乏，無法表達真正的想法，進而削弱學習動機。

繪本閱讀的目的是希望能多培養愛讀書的學生，有時更只是帶學生純粹地享受閱讀的樂趣、故事的美妙和令人驚嘆的反轉。 為了延續學生學習，最常見的是利用學習單，但每本繪本都結合學習單會讓繪本和寫作業畫上等號，學生會覺得看繪本都有目的性，難以真正喜歡繪本閱讀。建議老師 把設計學習單的用心挪到提問設計上 ，提問的目標設定為能讓繪本讀得更深入、給予更多面向的思考，雖然不見得會有立竿見影的成效，但對學生獨立思考和判斷事理的能力，絕對大有幫助。

學習單並非完全不需要，而是要看老師繪本教學的目標來設計學習單。學習單的設計也應該著重於學生能透過繪本有更深入精準的學習。適時搭配學習單，能幫學生延伸學習的內涵。

如果老師選擇的是議題繪本，例如：繪本與童工有關，可以帶學生進一步認識童工的貧窮現況，先讓學生分組進行網路搜尋，找出世界上有哪些地方存在著貧窮的童工，過著什麼樣的生活？讓他們對議題有進一步的理解，產生同理心。也可以討論除了捐錢和物資外，還有哪些實質的作法可以長遠地協助真實世界中的童工。

繪本教學後的延伸活動其實可以很多元，除了學習單、進行議題資料的搜尋、分組報告等。故事性強的繪本可讓學生把故事表演出來，加強口說練習和肢體展演的能力；議題性繪本可以讓學生進行辯論，例如：「要不要接收難民？Do we accept refugees?」，讓學生有機會更深入了解與探討的議題。

隨著課程的多元與彈性化，許多教育人士會將繪本運用在教學中。在運用的同時，也發現浩浩書海中 選書是一大學問 呀！光是如何下手挑選書？運用的時機？課程如何設計？...等，都是老師們的苦惱。本期特別邀請臺北市立大學師培中心劉淑雯助理教授，帶領大家一起探討英語繪本的選書與運用。在進入內容前，先來看看這期的動指小調查結果。

喜愛繪本的圖文並茂、以淺寓深，既跨領域又跨齡域。繪本中的各種話題是課堂中師生學與教的好題材，近年來有愈來愈多老師們，將繪本應用在課程教學（領域學習內容）或閱讀教育（108 課綱的 19 項議題）。在運用中老師們不免有些疑問，例如：如何評估課堂中使用繪本的時機？課程與教學比例該如何考量？跨領域繪本要如何挑選？議題教學，繪本能引發哪些效用？

接下來，將以自然領域概念為出發的跨領域教案實例，據以討論在教學流程中如何導入和運用繪本。

科學即生活，貼近孩子生命的兒童文學作品裡，亦處處都有科學，可以說兒童文學與科學之間存在驚人的超強友誼！透過閱讀，可以有無數的機會建立對於科學的理解，兒童文學書籍中大量的插畫和文字提供了豐富的訊息，能夠提供我們討論跨科教學概念的可能性： 只要知道如何找到連結 。這與現今教育趨勢強調核心素養的學習有相同的意義。

透過視覺呈現，繪本邀請讀者在精緻的插畫裡看見／注意正在發生的事，並且學習概念的名稱或現象。試著運用科學的思維和心態，看著插畫裡一隻貓瘋狂地爬到樹上，我們可推論「事出必有因」，並且畫面具有「能量」- 貓爪的【構造】使得牠可以爬到樹上，甚至可以推論這是常見的【形態】，肇因機制是鄰居的狗朝著牠追了過來。一旦養成了看見跨科概念的心智習性，就可以在每幅插畫中發現這些科學概念。

如同插畫可看見科學，在語言學習裡亦能聽見或遇見科學，以科學類知識型繪本為例，在介紹風力渦輪發電機如何運作的繪本中，可預期文字內容會出現一些科學詞彙。108 課綱中提到英語文教材選取重點及面向宜多元涵蓋各主題層面，例如：家庭、學校、食物、動植物等學生日常生活相關主題，以及世界共通和容易接軌國際的題材最為合適。在此以美、日、新加坡及臺灣皆有的 "cycle" 為例：

核心主題： What is a cycle? A pattern that repeats itself continuously is called a cycle. A cycle helps us to predict changes.

次要主題： 1) Life cycle of some animals 2) Life cycle of plants 3) Matters

以下將以動物的生命週期為例，運用「蝴蝶」為主題的繪本融入生活／自然領域進行一堂繪本科學課【驚奇毛毛蟲】。

依筆者自身經驗， 以教學或學習領域主題，查找重要獎項名單，最能符應所需繪本的資訊 ，常見參考如下：

1. 美國英語教師協會（National Council of Teachers of English）榮譽圖書獎（Orbis Pictus Award）

2. 凱迪克繪本獎（Caldecott Award） 是多數讀者較為熟悉的獎項。

3. 以科學為導向的 美國科學教師協會（National Science Teachers Associations）網站 ，精選市面上出版的優良科學書籍，是必要的參考資源之一。

在此以「蝴蝶生命週期」為例，查找 "picture books about life cycle" 或 "butterfly books"，可查得許多繪本書單，例舉教案主題和延伸使用之主題繪本如下：

From Caterpillar to Butterfly (by Deborah Heiligman, illustrated by Bari Weissman, 1996, New York: HarperCollins)：簡單的文字和豐富多彩的圖片，敘述適合小學階段的蝴蝶生命週期故事。

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly (by Bobbie Kalman, 2006, New York: Crabtree)：符合科學的內容，明確解釋蝴蝶生命週期中每個階段。引人注目的照片和清楚的插畫，使本書成為一本充滿事實證明的書籍。

Look, Ask and Learn about Butterflies (by Helen Pashley & Lori Adams, 2010, New York: Little Science Books)：這本書鼓勵讀者觀察和詢問蝴蝶相關的問題。令人震撼且近距離的照片，顯示蝴蝶生命週期中不同階段的模樣。

From Caterpillar to Butterfly: Following the Life Cycle (by Suzanne Slade, illustrated by Jeff Yesh, 2008, New York: Picture Window Books)：明亮的插畫和有教育意義的文字，描述君主斑蝶的生命週期。

Katie's Butterfly (by Jenny Giles, illustrated by Meredith Thomas, 2000, South Melbourne: Cengage Learning Australia)：以科學的方式精準敘述毛毛蟲完整的生命週期。

Houdini the Amazing Caterpillar (by Janet Pedersen, 2008, Boston: Clarion Books)：Houdini 是一隻養在教室裡具有魔術能力的毛毛蟲。牠讓葉子消失不見、爬過一個在高處用金屬絲作成的棒子，並且在人群面前生長。當觀眾們開始厭倦牠的把戲時，牠會表演一個最後的動作驚艷大家。

The Very Hungry Caterpillar (by Eric Carle, 1969, New York: Penguin Putnam)：這是一個跟著一隻毛毛蟲吃著一些不尋常的食物，且成長變成一隻美麗蝴蝶的故事。

Are You a Butterfly? (by Judy Allen, illustrated by Tudor Humphries, 2003, New York: Kingfisher)：簡單的文字和舒服的插畫，幫助讀者想像他們是一隻蝴蝶，體驗變態的過程。

The Butterfly House (by Eve Bunting, illustrated by Greg Shed, 1999 , New York: Scholastic)：一名小女生從很餓的松鴉那裡救了一隻毛毛蟲，並且幫牠建了一個窩，飼養直到牠變成一隻小苧麻赤蛺蝴蝶。小女孩釋放了這隻蝴蝶，但當她長大時，更多的蝴蝶回到女孩家的花園。

Where Butterflies Grow (by Joanne Ryder, illustrated by Lynne Cherry, 1996, New York: Puffin)：強烈的畫像幫助讀者連結與體驗珀鳳蝶的生長過程。本書作者還建議如何建立自己的蝴蝶花園。

Nature Storybooks: Caterpillar Butterfly (by Vivian French, illustrated by Charlotte Voake, 2008, London: Walker)： 這本結合故事和科學訊息的繪本中，好奇的孩子們會喜歡並發現蠕動的綠色毛毛蟲變成美麗蝴蝶過程。

The Apple and the Butterfly (By Iela & Enzo Mari, 2013, New York: Price Stern Sloan)：一本經典的無文字圖畫書，以簡單卻引人注目的圖形風格插圖，表現毛毛蟲從蘋果裡爬了出來...直到進入自己的繭中。隨著季節的變化，毛毛蟲變成了蝴蝶，自由自在地汲取蘋果的花蜜，讓故事完成了一個生命的循環。

教師藉由領域學習中的主題使用 「以課／單元帶書、以書帶書」的策略，提供學生豐富的議題繪本，讓孩子認識文本中議題的概念與觀點。（對應議題實質內涵，可查詢 「十二年國民教育基本綱要議題融入說明手冊」 。括號中提供對應編號，方便老師查詢。）

◎ 以 Butterfly 主題為例：

◆【閱 E13 願意廣泛接觸不同類型及不同學科主題的文本。】 ：可見閱讀的態度，運用多文本閱讀以提供學生更廣泛的視野與覺察。

◆【性 E3 覺察性別角色的刻板印象，了解家庭、學校與職業的分工，不應受性別的限制】 ：選擇性別平等教育和生涯教育議題的實質內涵，則可精選女力 SHERO (SHE+HERO) 的傳記故事為閱讀素材，增進學生認識更多元的典範，並促進思辨與了解。

◆【性 E8了解不同性別者的成就與貢獻】 ：性別角色的突破與性別歧視的消除、性別權益與公共參與。

The Bug Girl: A True Story (by Sophia Spencer, illustrated by Kerascoët, 2020, New York: Random House USA)：敘述一位因為喜歡蟲子而受到同儕欺負的 7 歲小女孩真實且勵志的故事。Sophia 在繪本中講述了她的真實歷程，鼓舞人心也激發女性在科學界嘗試各種錯誤以及忠於自己的重要性。

Summer Birds: The Butterflies of Maria Merian (by Margarita Engle, illustrated by Julie Paschkis, 2010, New York: Henry Holt and Co.)：描述一個年輕女孩 Maria Merian 投入心力、時間觀察和學習的故事。她是一名女性科學插畫家，也是史上第一位觀察活體昆蟲的科學家。

➡ 編輯插播：由於篇幅有限，下週二將有『 教學診療室特刊 』！淑雯老師將繼續以 Life cycle（butterfly）為例，提供更多運用英語繪本的時機以及延伸方向，絕對精采！

Do you have a plan for teaching reading strategies to your K-2 learners?

I'm talking reading strategies like these:

making predictions

making connections

inferring

setting a purpose for reading

activating prior knowledge

visualizing

asking questions

determining importance

summarizing

synthesizing

You might be thinking "that is a lot!" How can I teach them ALL of those strategies at such a young age?! The point of teaching K-2 students about reading strategies is to equip them with strategies to help them understand the books they read tomorrow and the day after that. With consistent modeling and guided practice, our students will make these strategies their own. We can absolutely address teaching many of these reading strategies using picture books for this age of students. Is it shocking to you that students can learn advanced reading strategies through a basic picture book? They absolutely can, especially when you find the best of children's literature!
Here are some picture books you can use to teach different reading strategies(affiliate links included):
Teaching Main Idea

Teaching and understanding the main ideas of the text is important. It gives the reader the ability to understand what the text is mostly about. Having books that help us teach this skill is important. Here are some great picture books for teaching this:

Leah's Pony by: Elizabeth Friedrich

Leah's pony was swift and strong. Together they would cross through cornfields and over pastures, chasing cattle as they galloped under summer skies. Then came the year the corn grew no taller than a man's thumb. Locusts blackened the sky. The earth turned to dust. Gone were the cornfields and pastures where Leah and her pony once rode. It was the beginning of the great drought. Now Leah's papa faced losing the family farm. Set in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, Elizabeth Friedrich's deeply felt story, vividly portrayed through Michael Garland's stunning oil paintings, tells of one child and what she would sacrifice for the love of her family.

The Important Book by: Margaret Wise Brown

What is the most important thing about a spoon? The fact that you can eat with it? What about an apple? Or a shoe? This bookhelps curious preschoolers notice important details about their everyday surroundings, like daisies are white, rain is wet, and a spoon is used for eating.

Teaching Plot

Teaching plot which is teaching students the ability to recognize important events, problems, conflict and resolution is essential to understanding the story. I have found these picture books to be wonderful in teaching plot:

Thank you Mr. Falker by: Patricia Polacco

Patricia Polacco is one of America's most loved children's book creators, but once upon a time, she was a little girl named Trisha starting school. Trisha could paint and draw beautifully, but when she looked at words on a page, all she could see was jumble. It took a very special teacher to recognize little Trisha's dyslexia: Mr. Falker, who encouraged her to overcome her reading disability. Patricia Polacco will never forget him, and neither will we.

The Patchwork Quilt by: Valerie Flournoy

Twenty years ago Valerie Flournoy and Jerry Pinkney created a warmhearted intergenerational story that became an award-winning perennial. Since then children from all sorts of family situations and configurations continue to be drawn to its portrait of those bonds that create the fabric of family life.

Teaching Sequencing

Teaching sequential order or order of important events is important as it allows students to understand when key events happen in a story. These books are easy for students to understand this concept.

Alexander and the Terrible Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by: Judith Virost

Alexander knew it was going to be a terrible day when he woke up with gum in this hair.

And it got worse...

His best friend deserted him. There was no dessert in his lunch bag. And, on top of all that, there were lima beans for dinner and kissing on TV!

The Napping House by: Audrey Wood

A cozy bed, a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing-WAIT! There's a surprise in store, and little ones will want to discover it over and over again. So pull on your sleeping cap and snuggle in for a timeless cumulative tale that's truly like no other. Don and Audrey Wood's beloved picture book has sold more than one and a half million copies. To celebrate its birthday, the original hardcover book now has a fresh new design for both the jacket and interior, and the reproduction of the illustrations has been enhanced to better match the original artwork. Bonus downloadable audio begins with a reading of the story and follows with six original songs that are just as fun, jaunty, and sweet as the book itself. The music, originally produced in 1989, is based on the book and was written and performed by children's musicians Carl and Jennifer Shaylen.

Stone Soup by: Marcia Brown

A clever young man tricks an old woman into believing that soup can be made from a stone. As the pot of water boils with the stone in it, he urges her to add more and more ingredients until the soup is a feast "fit for a king."

Teaching Author's Purpose

Students need to be able to recognize whether the author wrote the text to entertain, to inform, to explain or to persuade. At times the author may write the text for more than one purpose. These books help my students recognize this skill.

Two Bad Ants by: Chris Van Allsburg

The three-time Caldecott medalist tells the tale of two ants who decide to leave the safety of the others to venture into a danger-laden kitchen.
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
The Lorax by: Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss's beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and stand up and speak up for others. Experience the beauty of the Truffula Trees and the danger of taking our earth for granted in a story that is timely, playful, and hopeful. The book's final pages teach us that just one small seed, or one small child, can make a difference.

Teaching Making Connections

Making connections is something that will go beyond the text itself. Students will recognize whether the text connects to them personally, connects to a world event, or to another text. These books are great for making connections for students.

My Rotten, Redheaded Older Brother by: Patricia Polacco

There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better! Patricia's brother Richard could run the fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin. But when little Patricia wishes on a shooting star that she could do something- anything- to show him up, she finds out just what wishes-and rotten redheaded older brothers-can really do.

Through Grandpa's Eyes by: Patricia MacLachlan

John's favorite house is his grandfather's-not because it is fancy or new but because he sees it through his Grandpa's eyes. Grandpa is blind, and so when John visits him he gets to see things from a new perspective. If he closes his eyes, everything comes alive through sound and touch. This house is the place where John gets to experience the special way Grandpa sees and moves in the world.

Enemy Pie by: Derek Munson

Teach kindness, courtesy, respect, and friendship: It was the perfect summer. That is, until Jeremy Ross moved into the house down the street and became neighborhood enemy number one. Luckily Dad had a surefire way to get rid of enemies: Enemy Pie. But part of the secret recipe is spending an entire day playing with the enemy! In this funny yet endearing story one little boy learns an effective recipe for turning a best enemy into a best friend.

What's better than one cute & free habit tracker printable? 43 of them! If you want to start new habits or break old ones, one of these habit tracker printable templates might be just what you need to accomplish your goals.

I'm a big fan of printable habit trackers. I've tried a few habit-tracking apps, but there's just something about physically checking off a box with a pen each day. It makes me feel more accountable when starting a new habit and keeps me motivated to keep up with the daily routine and goals.

That's why I created these free habit tracker printables - 43 of them to be exact (I got a little carried away!).

You can use them to track any habit - from healthy eating/cutting down junk food, tracking your water intake, and getting more sleep to watching less Netflix and studying more. Each tracker has a cute design, and there's a variety of different trackers to choose from.

So whether you want more good habits (or to get rid of bad habits), start a conscious rethink process for building habits by simply downloading the PDF and printing it out.

I hope you like them and find these printable habit trackers helpful in achieving your goals.

Paper size: US letter, but some are resizable (to A4 page size and other sizes)
Instantly downloadable. Free printables.
All designs ©SaturdayGift Ltd. For personal use only, not to be copied, distributed, altered, or sold.

The images have my big logo on a pink, beige or blue banner, but the PDFs come without that.

Recommendation: To make sure you're using the proper printer settings for better print results, save the file first to your computer and print it out.

Free printable habit tracker PDFs

The best habit tracker is the one that works for you. And I hope you'll find that one among these.

So here are free printable habit tracker designs. All instant downloads, aka printable gifts. You can find the download links under each image.

Mini habit trackers - cute & free mini habit tracker PDFs

A mini habit tracker is a great way to track your habits if you're new to habit tracking. And this mini tracker design is super cute.

If you're new to bullet journaling and don't want to spend all the time drawing and designing your own mini habit trackers, these printables are perfect for you.

The mini trackers are small, simple charts. You can cut them out and glue them to your planner or use the printable as-is.

21-day habit tracker

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to become a lifestyle.

So here's the habit tracker for the first 21 days. If you can make it past the 21 days, continue up to 90 days, and you've established it.

Habit Calendar - daily, weekly & monthly habits on one page

This habit calendar is my favorite. It has a circle habit tracker for your daily habits, and enough space to track your weekly and monthly habits.

You can track six daily habits with the circle tracker and there are 8 lines for weekly ones. I like to have three bigger monthly goals, but in this printable there's place for six.

Psst! If you need a printable monthly calendar to go with your habit tracker grab these free elegant black & white horizontal calendars - they're my reader's favorites.

Undated mandala habit tracker

Here are cute printable mandala habit tracker templates. The first two are undated with 30 slots, and the second two with 21, so they can be used any time of the year.

Psst. Grab one of the SaturdayGift free printable calendars to check the weekdays.

Weekly habit tracker printables

These weekly habit tracker templates are designed to help you track your progress on a weekly basis. Like, let's say you'd like to eat healthier. But don't need to concentrate on that every day because you know you need to start with baby steps. So you want to add one healthy meal to each week.

Monthly habit tracker printable

I made two printable monthly habit trackers years ago, and I can't believe it took me this long to create new designs.

These monthly habit tracker printable designs help you keep track of your habits for the entire month. Each page is meant for one month. Save the file to your computer. Open it in a PDF reader like Adobe reader, print out the file in black & white or in full colors, write down the particular habit you want to track on each line, and track your progress.

Print out your habit tracker page for the month start keeping track of even one good habit.

Yearly Habit tracker

This yearly habit tracker is designed to help you track your good habits for an entire year.

Yearly habit trackers are perfect for tracking those habits that you know take longer to form or are something you want to work on for the entire year.

This year-long habit tracker is a one-page planner sheet with 365 days.

Please note: There's not a version with 366 days for leap years (like 2024), but you can use this one and skip a day like New Year 's Eve.

How to track habits - in a nutshell

So, how to use a habit tracker? And what kind of tracker?

There are a few ways that you can track habits. The method you use will largely depend on how many habits you want to follow, how visual you are, and how detailed you want the tracking to be.

1. Track your habits in a notebook or planner

This is a very simple way to track your habits, especially if you're just starting out. All you need to do is create a list of the habits that you want to track and then check them off each day as you complete them.

2. Use printable habit trackers

If you're not into bullet journaling and still want a tracker that is aesthetically pleasing and cute, a printable habit tracker is a great option (and my favorite way to track habits).

3. Use a habit tracker app

If you're not into habit tracking on paper, use a habit tracker app. There are several apps to track your habits: such as Habitica, Habitify, Loop, and Beeminder. These apps allow you to track more than just one habit and often come with other features, such as goal setting and tracking your progress. Usually, you can also get a reminder, so that's a handy feature a paper tracker can't do.

4. Use a spreadsheet

This is a more detailed way to track your habits. It's excellent if you want to track statistics, such as how often you've completed a habit in a certain time or your average streak length.

Whichever method you choose, make sure that it's something that you'll be able to stick with. Habit tracking can be a great way to help you achieve your goals, but only if you do it regularly and keep up with it.

Common daily habit ideas to track in your habit tracker

Here are a few common daily habit ideas to track:

Wake up early

Exercise

Make your bed

Drink water

Take a break from screens

Read

Spend time with family or friends

Go to bed on time

Meditate or do something relaxing

Learn something new

Tip #1: Don't start tracking too many habits at once. Focus first on one (or on a few healthy habits). And add more as you get used to it.

Tip #2: Always make sure you're goals and new habits are aligned with your core values. You can learn more about personal core values from this post.

Benefits of habit tracking

Here are a few things a habit tracking can do for you:

1) Helps stay on track

When you're tracking your habits, you're less likely to break them because you'll record how often you've succeeded (or failed). And once you're on a winning streak some days in a row, you start to avoid breaking that chain. This can be especially helpful when it comes to building new habits.

2) Helps you see your progress

Habit tracking can also help you see your progress over time. This is incredibly motivating for long-term goals because you can see how far you've come.

Tip #3: Combine your habit tracker with these cute vision board templates.

3) Helps you identify patterns

Another benefit of habit tracking is that it can help you identify patterns in your behavior. For example, you might notice that you're more likely to skip your workout if you don't do it first thing in the morning. Or you might realize that you tend to snack more when you're stressed.

4) Keeps you accountable

When you track your habits, you're essentially holding yourself accountable. This can be a great way to stay on track and achieve your goals.

5) Helps you develop better habits

Ultimately, habit tracking can help you develop better habits. When you're aware of your bad habits, you can work on replacing them with good ones.

How to break a bad habit - in a nutshell

Use 21/90 rule to make habits stick

Have you tried to implement good habits for 21 days straight but then returned to your old ways? Maybe the 21/90 rule will work better for you.

When it comes to habit-forming, The 21/90 rule states that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a permanent lifestyle change.

This means you need to do something consistently for 21 days until it becomes a habit. And once it's become a habit, you need to keep up the good work for up to 90 days until the change is permanent and has become part of your lifestyle.

According to a study by Philippa Lally and her research team from University College London, it can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days to form a new habit- which averages out to about 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic.

Habit formation is a gradual process that takes time. The 21/90 rule is actually more of a guideline than an absolute rule.

So if you try something for a few weeks and you're making progress, but the habit doesn't stick, don't give up. Remember that it takes time and keep going.

Conclusion

Habit tracking can do a lot for you, from helping you stay on track to seeing your progress over time, identifying patterns, and developing better habits. But make sure you don't start tracking too many habits at once. Focus first on one (or on a few healthy habits) and add more as you go.

And be sure to celebrate your successes! A little bit of positive reinforcement can go a long way in helping you stay motivated.
