A great list of books to teach rules and procedures in school.  Perfect for the first week of school or when classroom rules need to be reviewed.

Mentor texts are great for teaching content areas, however, it is also wonderful to use books to teach rules in the classroom. Starting the year off by laying the groundwork for rules and expectations will make the rest of the year run so much smoother!

Why Use Books to Teach Rules?

“A story meets the child where {they are}. It sparks an authentic desire within {them} to do better, try harder…”

Sarah Mackenzie The Read-Aloud Family

Stories allow our students to practice experiences through the characters in their books. They watch as Lily learns her lesson about her purple, plastic purse. This is far more powerful than a lecture from an adult.

It’s important to teach rules and procedures during back-to-school time. However, picture books are also a great way to reinforce behaviors throughout the school year.
