SEL Teen Literacy Library

With the increase in digital forms of communication and the increased pressures of today’s world, schools are facing new challenges in supporting students and helping them learn social and emotional skills. The SEL Teen Literacy Library® is a unique solution that uses nonfiction and fiction to help teens think about and discuss topics critical to successful social interactions and emotional health. Organized around 12 key SEL topics that cover both self-awareness and social awareness, this collection of Hi-Lo BooksTM is the perfect addition to any middle or high school classroom or library.

Because recognizing and dealing with emotions is such an important aspect of social and emotional learning, emphasis is placed on 60 emotion words (5 for each topic). Each emotion is represented on a traditional vocabulary card with a photo on one side and the word and definition on the other as well as on an Emoti-Card featuring an illustration of the emotion with facial cues and gestures to help students better identify that emotion when interacting with others. Together with extensive instructional support in the form of lessons, activities, role-plays, and assessments, the books and cards in this collection provide the perfect solution to incorporating SEL instruction into content area classes.
