I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!

By Julia Cook. Illustrated by Kelsey De Weerd. Meet RJ, who always says what he thinks no matter how it makes others feel. Help children analyze social situations and choose appropriate words with this humorous yet educational narrative about how and when to use a social filter. Kids will learn, as RJ does, that they don’t have to verbalize every thought that pops into their heads. Instead, using their social filters, they can give positive feedback or none at all. A teacher’s guide with related activities and downloadable handouts, posters, reward coupons, and more is available separately. Grades K–6. Tips for parents and educators.
