Using Read-Alouds to Support Social and Emotional Learning (Edutopia)

Using Read-Alouds to Support Social and Emotional Learning - In elementary school, interactive read-alouds are commonly used to build various literacy skills, such as students’ listening comprehension, background knowledge, vocabulary, and understanding of language structures. Beyond their academic benefits, however, read-alouds can also serve as a support for developing social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. 

In fact, teachers can integrate read-alouds related to SEL into morning meeting structures, literacy blocks, and cross-curricular settings to target these skills in tandem.
