Meet The Social Cue Crew! In Story 2, "Your Body Is Talking!," Maya, Carlos, Zoe, Jaylen, and Priya tackle body language in a way that's fun, relatable, and totally no-prep for you. Includes the CASEL-aligned story, 4 discussion questions, a classroom activity, the Social Cue Crew Chant, and bilingual family connection letters in English and Spanish. Perfect for PreK–Grade 1 counselors, teachers, and families.

Before Jaylen says a single word, his friends already know something is wrong. Stompy feet. Crossed arms. Eyes on the floor. His body said it all.

Your Body Is Talking! is Story 2 in The Social Cue Crew series — and it teaches young learners one of the most powerful social skills they'll ever have: the ability to read body language.

In this no-prep, CASEL-aligned read-aloud for PreK through Grade 1, the crew learns that our bodies send messages even when our mouths stay quiet.
