Abstract

Superflex Takes On Glassman and the Team of Unthinkables introduces readers to a very persistent and sneaky Unthinkable named Glassman who causes people to have large reactions to small problems (or, shatter like a pane of glass). In the story, Aiden's classmates are regularly visited by Glassman and have large reactions to small problems. Superflex to the rescue! The kids learn strategies from the Superflex Academy to figure out the size of the problem and the expected reaction size, and use calming self-talk and other strategies to find their Superflex inside and defeat Glassman! Short quizzes pop up throughout the book to reinforce learning.

Abstract

Superflex (R), our Social Thinking superhero, helps teach elementary shcool studens how they can use strategies to conquer their own, not-quite-so-flexible 'Team of Unthinkables.' Through this humorous and delightful illustrated story book, students are encouraged to think about thinking and what they can do to self-regulate some of their own wayward thoughts and behaviors.

Superflex takes on Rock Brain is part of a series that begins with You Are a Social Detective, followed by Superflex . . . A Superhero Social Thinking Curriculum, where teachers are encouraged to set up their own Superflex Academy. By teaching students to explore the difference between Superflex and a motley crew of the Team of Unthinkables such as Rock Brain, Brain Eater, and Body Snatcher, they can better develop self-awareness and self-monitoring of their own behavior, eventually allowing them to participate in the Superflex Academy Graduation Party. Complete with charming illustrations, practical worksheets, and many, many useful lessons, this curriculum is an effective tool for working with our elementary school students with social learning challenges.
