Used with thousands of students, Skillstreaming is the standard for teaching prosocial skills. It is flexible, easy to use, and effective.
The early childhood version (preschool and kindergarten), and the elementary school version (grades 2 through 5) each include a Handbook, Program Forms Booklet, and Skills Cards. The latter also includes a student manual.
The early childhood Handbook shows how to teach 40 prosocial skills to preschool and kindergarten children. Using modeling, role-playing, performance feedback, and transfer training (homework), it focuses on beginning social skills, school-related skills, friendship skills, how to deal with feelings, alternatives to aggression, and how to cope with stress. Reproducible Program Forms include assessment sheets, checklists, summary forms, and student handouts that are useful in implementing the program. In addition, 320 cue cards, illustrated for nonreaders, list the behavioral steps for each of the 40 skills in the Handbook.
The Handbook for elementary students shows how to teach 60 skills in 5 areas: Classroom Survival Skills; Friendship Skills; Dealing with Feelings; Alternatives to Aggression; and Dealing with Stress. Specific skills include asking for help, accepting consequences, using self-control, and dealing with pressure. Appendices include program evaluation forms. The accompanying Program Forms Booklet provides reproducible checklists, handouts, rating forms, school-home notes, skill contracts, and more. The 480 Skill Cards list the behavioral steps for each skill taught in the Handbook. These cards are used in role plays and homework assignments. The Student Manual serves as a reference and organizer, providing a self-assessment checklist and tips about the skill-learning process, nonverbal communication, skill shifting, and more.
Packed with more than 600 lesson plans and activities plus 200 printable forms, the Lesson Plans and Activities book with CD-rom enhances the Skillstreaming program by making learning more fun and enjoyable.
The Skillstreaming approach really works.
