Social-emotional learning is at the heart of good teaching, but as curriculum and testing requirements consume more and more classroom time, these critical skills often get sidelined. This straightforward book shows busy teachers ways to incorporate social-emotional learning into everyday literacy lessons. Through simple activities such as read-alouds, sing-alongs, murals, and performances, students will learn how to get along in a group, empathize with others, develop self-control, and give and receive feedback — all while becoming confident readers and writers!
