Let's Talk About Life Skills
High-interest/Low-level reading, Elementary& Secondary School, Adult
This manual is Volume I of a 2-volume series based on popular
Life Skills Series I and II programs. The easy-to-use binder
featuring 800 Questions and Answers and 800 Practice Activities
provides teachers and counselors with high-interest subjects that
are simple enough for students of all ages to understand, yet
challenging enough to inspire lively discussion of the various life
skills.
Let's Talk About Life Skills Series I binder is also available
separately, and both binders can be purchased as a more
cost-effective set.
This comprehensive and well-organized manual offers a convenient and
flexible way to conduct life skills instruction in a group
discussion format. It is ideal for use with all size groups in a
home or work setting, an entire classroom, or for one-on-one
counseling sessions. The fast-paced group format allows participants
to express their feelings on a wide ranging variety of subjects and
also to learn more about their peers. This in turn teaches the most
important life skill of all-the social skill of getting along with
and showing respect for the feelings and opinions of others. A
special section entitled "How to Get Started" gives educators
step-by-step instructions and tips on getting the most out of the
materials enclosed.
