Social Stories Collection: Elementary School (Social Emotional Learning)

After over 20 years of teaching 3rd grade, I have put together what I think are the most successful talking points that all kids can connect to through this collection of 20 Social Stories.

I hope my expertise can provide your class with effective talking points to teach kindness, cooperation, self care, respect, responsibility, problem solving, and advocacy.

These 3-5 minute read alouds can make all the difference in setting the tone for the day, responding to misbehaviors, and creating a responsive classroom built on community, and building stronger skills in Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

I have compiled these social stories all in ONE document, that you can adapt, update, and print. This one document allows you to print one time to have all 20 social story books in one collection. These books can work for any elementary grade. They are successful with all types of students.
