Description: As a supplement to the Skillstreaming in Early Childhood program book, the Student Workbook jumpstarts student learning, structures the Skillstreaming teaching process for both new and experienced group leaders, and is an excellent tool for promoting parent involvement. Available in convenient sets of 10 Student Workbooks (includes Group Leader’s Guide). Student Workbook Introduction for Parents When children share this brief overview and their workbook progress with parents, parents become more willing and able to support skill practice and skill use outside the learning setting. Understanding Skillstreaming Featuring illustrations of LeRoy the Frog and a diverse group of children, these pages offer entertaining activities to capture children’s attention while they learn the role-playing process and master the steps of Listening, their very first social skill. More Practice and Good Ideas Successful skill use depends on more than just learning skill steps. This part of the workbook focuses on such critical factors as choosing the right time and place, understanding body language, and identifying feelings. Group Leader's Guide Essential for use with the Student Workbook, the Group Leader’s Guide tells leaders exactly what to do, page by page, when using the Student Workbook to teach the Skillstreaming process. In addition, it includes numerous teaching tips and suggestions for related activities to enhance children’s learning, as well as reproducible skill posters, skill cards, and role-play tags. Shown below is episode two of Prosocially Yours, a podcast produced by Research Press. In this episode, host Elizabeth Hess interviews educator and author, Dr. Ellen McGinnis, about the widely acclaimed Skillstreaming program.
