Taking Part: Introducing Social Skills to Children

By Gwendolyn Cartledge and James Kleefeld

(Grades PK-3) This newly revised curriculum provides step-by-step strategies and activities for teaching 33 social skills that are essential to a child's social development. Animal characters/puppets are used to introduce the skills and to help in various practice and maintenance activities.

Skill lessons are divided into six units:

Making Conversation
Communicating Feelings
Expressing Oneself
Cooperating with Peers
Playing with Peers
Responding to Aggression and Conflict

Each skill is divided into clearly defined behavioral steps that incorporate thinking, feeling, and doing. At each stage of instruction, students are given examples of appropriate skill use, asked questions to enhance their understanding of the skill, and provided with specific feedback as they practice the skill. Children are encouraged to apply their newly learned skills at school, at home, and on the playground. Softcover, 376 pages.
Now includes CD!
