Five Themes To Explore Life and Literacy Skills
The key ideas explored in this library are centered around five essential themes:
Understanding Myself
Managing Myself
Respecting Others
Building Relationships
Making Decisions
These themes provide springboards for reading and discussion, allowing students to connect to concepts that resonate with their lives. The themes provide a lens for reading both the books in the Byron V. Garrett Life and Literacy Skills Library as well as other books in your classroom library and beyond. On the following pages, read more about these themes and how to discuss them with students.
“We live in an ever-changing world, so it’s our job as educators to prepare children to tackle not only current problems, but anticipate the dynamic landscape of our students’ futures.” —Byron V. Garrett
