This book is absolutely fantastic. I use it with 3rd through 5th and sometimes 6th graders, and it really builds in skills that some students need help with. I use this book multiple times daily with my individual counseling, and it works even better in small group. Well worth the money.

I have hundreds and hundreds of books geared for helping children as a social worker, and I must at least have 30 books to help run small groups. You will not be disappointed with these books. What I love about it is, it is written so you can run a group start to finish. It has assessments in each area for parents as well as students to fill out and even better yet.... you will get information sheets/letters that you can send home to the parent so they know what you are working on and how to reinforce at home. The sessions are nice, you can make it a little longer if you need to or you can do them in as little as 20 minutes perfect for IEP kids too. I love this book and for the price you can't beat it ... I have paid twice for a book only to be disappointed and you won't be.
