RESEARCH
Over a 12-week period, students participating in A Little SPOT’s program improved their social and emotional skills significantly more than students who did not participate. Students participating in the program improved on average by about 0.40 points on the four-point scale used to measure their social and emotional skills, an approximately14% increase on a measure of skills including resolving problems with their peers, focusing on tasks, and empathizing with others.
"I love to use the spot books in
my classroom both as a teaching tool
but also as a resource to the kids to be
able to work out their emotions..."
Today was favorite book character day! Of course we dressed up as the little spots. Our students were so obsessed, it was such a fun day!
