You've started! Don't shout in my ear, I can understand you just fine! This is making me anxious! Arguing and making up are part of school life. The 50 short reading stories for elementary school revolve around this theme. They tell of small disputes and teasing among children, of troublemakers and know-it-alls, of winners and losers, of gut feelings and the search for good conflict resolutions. Questions to introduce the stories activate the children's own experiences and encourage attentive listening. Follow-up prompts related to the narratives allow for further engagement with the stories - aiming for less conflict and a better culture of dispute in school.
