Getting Along With People – Complete Program

Description

This complete series of readers and workbooks feature adolescent and young adult characters successfully handling various social skills situations. There are three separate readers – one for School, Work, and Home – that contain 25 easy-to-read stories and a total of 75 reproducible worksheets. The program can be used with one person, a small group, or a classroom in public schools, residential centers, work activity centers, workplace life skills classes, rehabilitation classes, and other social skills learning environments. Additional sets of the Readers may be ordered separately. The Getting Along With People series was developed to give educators a hands-on tool to help them teach acceptable social skills at school, work, and home. Even negative behaviors-some of which may be displayed by the participants-can be discussed in a non-threatening and enjoyable environment. The black and white illustrations serve as a visual teaching tool for people who can read and those with limited reading skills. The illustrations are so detailed that many participants will be able to describe the scenes even if they have no reading skills. Each short story in the Reader is two pages and has large print for ease of reading. On the first page of each story, participants are presented with a social situation and asked to read and discuss the scene. On the second page, a positive solution to the situation is presented as an acceptable way to handle the issue. After reading each story, participants are given a Workbook sheet that shows both common positive and negative responses to the situations portrayed.
