Lets kids try out different ways to deal with grade problems,

This review is from: Making the Grade (A Decision Is Yours Book ; 3) (Hardcover)
In this story, a girl works hard on improving her soccer game and neglects her schoolwork. When she gets her report card and sees the low grades, she is worried about how her parents will react. The reader takes on the role of the girl and makes choices that will determine the subsequent events. The reader can choose to have her cheat to bring up her grades, or hide her test results. The reader can also also choose to ask a teacher for extra study help. Because the choices put the reader more in control, kids may take this book more seriously. They can also try out different choices and see what happens. Readers tend to get more satisfactory end results when they make the moral choices, but sometimes even doing the "right" thing does not make life totally perfect. I have used this book with individual children, and with groups of young adolescents who have social sklls issues.
I wish more parents and schools bought this book. It is part of a series, The Decision is Yours, which helps elementary and middle school aged children think about their decision-making. Taken together with the other books in the series, (I have read all of them) it makes a great social skills/decision making curriculum. If a school or therapist wanted to use it this way, there is an accompanying book, Decision is Yours Leader's Guide, also available through Amazon.
