As an elementary teacher, I am always on the lookout for quality literature to help teach social skills. A colleague recently let me borrow three terrific books by Julia Cook, A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue, (tattling versus reports) My Mouth Is a Volcano (interrupting and blurting out), and Personal Space Camp (respecting other people’s boundaries). I loved them! They are entertaining to read (lots of rhyme and fun language) and students relate to the practical stories in ways that really make a difference.
I was so intrigued with the books that I wanted more information on this author. Julia is a former elementary teacher and guidance counselor. Now she is the author of numerous books and a national keynote speaker. I found several more books to add to the ever growing wish list: Bully B.E.A.N.S. (being proactive with bullying) and I Am a Booger… Treat Me With Respect (teaching “pickers and flickers” healthy habits). To find out more information about her books and presentations, visit http://www.juliacookonline.com/.
What tried and true books you use in your classroom to teach different personal skills?
