Social and Emotional Learning for the Real World: Grades 1 – 2 Nonfiction
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is paramount in
today's education, from preschool to high school. Children of all ages benefit
from learning and applying the skills and attitudes needed to foster healthy
relationships, make good choices, manage emotions and behaviors, overcome stress
and challenges, and care for others. This collection provides early elementary
readers with accessible texts and vivid visuals to serve as their first
introduction to SEL skills and attitudes. Young readers will learn how to show
respect and empathy for others, do their work, and reach their goals. These
invaluable skills will support personal and social growth, and set a strong
foundation of SEL for each early reader.
