Category Description for Training Aliens

Teaching social skills has become a priority in recent years. Thanks to Dr. Melanie Wilson, it can be fun and interactive to teach too! These courses are best used with a group of children but can be adapted to use with one child. Now with 2 levels, each course has 4 units covered in 16 weeks:

  • Friendship & Communication
  • Emotion Management
  • Group Membership
  • Problem Solving

Each unit includes 4 missions with 1 free video per unit (optional). Parent/Teachers use the Training Manual & Teacher Guide (available in a secular or faith-based version) and the text called Adventures in Social & Emotional Skills which is a book of stories and scenarios you read aloud to the group. Choose from 2 options for dealing with the challenge. Students speculate on what will happen! Students are also assigned tasks to complete such as saying hello to 5 new people. There is no student workbook, rather, you can print free PDFs when necessary for each student from the publisher’s website.

If you are using the faith-based Teacher Guide, you will read from the Bible or a combination of your Bible and the text. The author plans to create more levels. For level 1, required resources include a picture book of your choice and colored pencils. Additional household items are used in Level 2. It is best to complete level 1 before attempting level 2 as the beginning topics are more foundational. ~Sara
