Using Picture Books to Enhance Children's Social and Emotional Literacy

Creative Activities and Programs for Parents and Professionals

By: Susan Elswick

Children can struggle to engage with and articulate certain emotions, which can have a profound impact on their behaviour, confidence and ability to form relationships, follow instructions and perform tasks. This resource for teachers, therapists, counsellors and parents uses children's literature and some of its well-known characters, such as the Rainbow Fish and Stanley Yelnats IV from Holes, as a basis for practical activities that enable children to express and manage these emotions. Social-emotional literacy training assists students in developing important life skills such as the ability to develop good relationships and empathy skills, as well as being able to understand, manage and communicate their own emotions. This book offers an introduction to social-emotional literacy, followed by activities related to emotions such as empathy, friendship, grief and self-esteem, aiming to embed this literacy training into daily school and home activities to increase children's chances of future success.

Integrated Thematic Instruction

The Model

By: Susan J. Kovalik,Karen D. Olsen

This is one of the most revolutionary handbooks available for the classroom teacher of the 90's - it provides the theory, tools, & specific how-to's to radically rethink curriculum & instruction for today's students. Included is an explanation of the brain research base for the ITI model's eight "brain-compatible" elements, detailed how-to's for creating a year-long theme, components, & weekly topics, identifying key points, creating inquiries (activities through which students apply their learnings to the real world), & how to move away from traditional grading & evaluation of students toward brain-compatible & authentic assessment of mastery/competence. Also included are numerous examples of year themes, key points, & inquiries plus a complete curriculum for one week & for one month. INTEGRATED THEMATIC INSTRUCTION: THE MODEL is a complete, stand alone handbook for implementing an integrated thematic instructional approach using current brain research. Its curriculum model departs significantly from that of the past 100 years. Designed primarily for grades K-6. Second edition, 1993. This book may be ordered from: Books for Educators, P.O. Box 20525, Village of Oak Creek, AZ 86341. 602-284-2389.
