Tips for teachers and parents
Best practices:- Keep list items concise; aim for single lines where possible
- Use parallel structure. start each item with the same type of word (verb, noun, etc.)
- Limit lists to 5–7 items; longer lists become harder to scan
- Use bulleted lists for unordered items; use numbered lists when sequence matters
- Nest lists sparingly; too many levels can be confusing
