The current study investigates
the development of the core
EFs at the time of transitioning
from kindergarten to first
grade, as this is an important
moment in EF development.
Additionally, the relationship of
the core EFs with different
aspects of academic
achievement (reading, spelling

core EFs, by thoroughly
measuring different
subcomponents of working
memory, inhibition and
cognitive flexibility.
Results of the study show that

Build working memory by:
1)practicing visualization
2) provide more opportunities
for students to recite or teach
you what theyve learned
3) chunk information into
subcomponents
4) always provide time for silent

Teachers need to build
meaningful relationships with
every individual student and
make extra effort to get to know
their students because studies
show it has a positive correlation
in the classroom that pertains to
executive functioning.
