Follow this link to a complete list of my personal library list. Books are divided into categories based on my suggested use.
Why Biblotherapy?Biblotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes children's books to support mental health and learning of a variety of skills.
Because of my background in childhood development and education, I have learned how to understand appropriate text for students of all ages, ask open-ended questions, and develop action plans to build therapeutic sessions. I find literature to be a beneficial way to teach skills, promote learning and build emotional vocabulary. |
I like to think of executive functioning skills as the basic skills we need to survive and thrive in school and life. We don't expect third graders to automatically know their multiplication tables, so why are we expecting them to already know how to function in the classroom? We have to teach them what we want them to know! There are many, many list out there of different executive functioning skills, but I mainly focus on these:
Waiting and taking turns Making mistakes and trying anyway Goal setting Time management, planning and organization Flexible thinking Self-control

Why books?As a counselor, one of my favorite techniques is bibliotherapy. This is a form of healing that utilizes stories to help connect students to life lessons. We use children's books so often in the classroom, so students are already familiar with finding deeper meanings and connecting to characters. This page is meant to be a growing list of books that I find useful for handling unique situations that children face.
