How can we use the power of words to inspire students to wholly live in each day, reflect positively upon themselves, and navigate their relationships with others? In this edWebinar, the presenters will explore the My Special Word collection, a series of books designed to help children discover their power from within. Attendees will leave with free access to the My Special Word digital book collection and the BookSmart application and will be sent a link to access the My Special Word classroom lessons.
The presenters will examine how reading stories—the place where we can walk in another’s shoes—helps build emotional literacy as we see characters navigate their own emotional regulation and find strength in their words. The discussion will include the correlation between standards, focusing on college and career readiness strands with a natural link between ELA and SEL. Finally, they will look at an example and break down how short, explicit SEL lessons can be built out of a story. Join this session to explore the My Special Word book series and learn how to empower students to find their own SPECIAL words.
This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK through elementary teachers, librarians, school and district leaders, ELL educators, migrant family coordinators, and Title 1 coordinators. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
