Overview

Introduce students in grades K through 6 to the most basic of social skills with this humorous story about RJ and his very rough day when nothing goes right. RJ learns that his problems happen because he doesn't listen or pay attention to directions from his mom, his school principal, his teachers, or even his friends. Four simple steps for listening and following instructions are presented in rhyme so all kids, including RJ, will be able to remember how and when to use these fundamental social skills. This storybook is the first in Julia Cook's book series, which teaches children social skills that can make home life happier and school more successful. The skills are part of the Boys Town Education Model(R) that has improved student behavior and classroom climates in hundreds of schools across the country. Many of the same techniques can also be found in the strategies that comprise Boys Town's Common Sense Parenting(R) program. Tips for parents and educators on how to teach and encourage kids to use the skills of listening and following instructions are included at the end of the picture book. 31 pgs.
