Abstract

Social and emotional aspects of literacy learning have become hot topics for school districts, educational leaders, and teachers as they seek means to connect the academic and affective domains of schooling. To educate is to empower; it is to equip with more than knowledge but also the resilience, fortitude, and self-efficacy for success to be within reach. The transformation of K-12 classrooms must involve launching points for social and emotional learning (SEL). These mechanisms permit educators to think through how to connect content to lived worlds, how to embed social elements to literacy experiences, and how to foster emotive responses from students regarding challenging topics for authentic debate. Now is the time to reconsider and redesign what constitutes a core focus in K-12 literacy contexts that incorporates a focus on social and emotional aspects of literacy learning. A developmental approach to SEL in literacy learning will be explored in this chapter to establish opportunities for educators to embed SEL into their K-12 classrooms.
