Get a small plastic 35mm film canister (or something like that if you no longer know anyone who uses that film. A very small baby food container, perhaps). Then use small dried beans to fill the container whenever the student is on task appropriately. When full, some reward is earned. Or when half full, etc, depending on how successful the student is in that area. This works, because it is easy to do, it is very concrete, and it is very incremental. The student can be helped to keep a record of success, and can compete with him/herself to fill the container more quickly, etc.
PS Anytime you have more than one student, you can encourage them to compete against one another, as well as to work together to earn something...
