Key Education Social Skills Matter! Resource Book (384 pages) Grade PK-2

I am always looking for new and inventive ways to discuss positive social skills such as sharing and good manners. This book has been a tremendous resource to help with teaching and reinforcing all of these things and more. It is labeled for special learners, but it's wonderful for all children and helps teach important lessons in daily living. The entire book is made up of over eighty different mini-books that can be reproduced and put together by one child or an entire classroom. Topics touch up on all the essential social skills that children should learn from preschool up until the second grade. The skills that are taught not only cover manners, but the importance of good communication skills, dealing with different ranges of emotions, handling routine changes, and developing positive relationships with others. From the moment that I received this book my son has taken over it. I was able to "borrow it" in order to reproduce some of the mini-books, so that we can use them in our life skills discussions. Other than that, he enjoys reading this book as is, from front to back. That's over 350 pages worth of stories. He is so interested in the stories; he can sit there for long periods of time just reading each one. Of course, making the mini-books offers a fun mutisensory experience that he also enjoys taking part in.

Part of a series of take-home booklets that helps teachers help parents of students in their classes. Good for both typically developing kids and those with special needs.
