Botvin LifeSkills Training Elementary CD-ROM Levels 1 & 2
Program Overview
Grade Levels: 3 – 4 (Level 1) / 4 – 5 (Level 2)
The award-winning Botvin LifeSkills Training Elementary CD-ROMs are exciting, animated programs that teach children valuable skills for life. Four lively friends – Aliwali, Tilter, Jaslow, and Arg – lead children through scenarios and interactive activities to help them learn the necessary skills that promote mental health, social-emotional (SEL) skills, and positive youth development.
Each of the eight interactive units expands on the lessons learned in the LST Elementary School program, Level 1 and Level 2. Sections introduce skills, provide activities that cater to varied learning styles, and then summarize the critical aspects of the lesson. Throughout each unit children are also given opportunities to relate skills and concepts to their personal lives.
The program is appropriate for use in the classroom, at home, and in after-school programs.
