Skillstreaming in the Elementary School: Lesson Plans and Activities

An engaging component designed to supplement the curriculum detailed in Skillstreaming the Elementary School Child.

This comprehensive resource provides the materials needed to sustain skill instruction, enhance students' skill mastery, and most important - to refine skill use for dealing with more complex, real-life situations in and outside of the classroom. The 312-page manual features 600 easy-to-use lesson plans and related activities. There are over 200 reproducible forms necessary for implementing the lesson plans - these are available for download (instructions on page 2).

Students learn important strategies such as goal setting, problem solving, impulse control, co-operating, anticipating consequences, and thinking aloud. Activities are provided for at least one week of supplementary instruction for each of the 60 skills in the elementary curriculum.
