Life Skills in the Classroom and Beyond Life skills have the power to dramatically improve student attitudes and achievement. To help you seamlessly integrate these skills into literacy instruction, Scholastic has built this collection with educator and advocate Byron V. Garrett. In the classroom and at home, students explore key ideas through the lens of five essential themes :
Building Relationships
Understanding Myself
Managing Myself
Making Decisions
Respecting Others
These themes provide springboards for reading and discussion, allowing students to connect to concepts that resonate with their lives.
