The Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond
By Dr. Jed Baker, PhD.
Grades 8 and up. Book is based on the premise that seeing is learning.
Offers a visual learning format with photos of actual students engaging in a wide variety of social situations, showing ways to interact in different circumstances. Students of all ages learn more effectively when pictures are used to supplement verbal descriptions and instructions.
Encourages older students to use photos of themselves to create a booklet for each skill they learn. This is a creative, exciting way to personalize each skill as they learn it. Covers real-life situations that are important to teens, such as: making new friends, asking questions in class, saying hello and goodbye, making supportive statements, interrupting a conversation, respecting each other’s space, giving class presentations, doing difficult schoolwork, forbidden topics, working as part of a group, asking someone out on a date, interviewing for a job, asking for help when needed, making mistakes, and more. 250 pages, 8-1/2 in. x 11 in.
