WITS Book Checklist - Rock Solid Foundation

WITS Book Checklist
Many of the books used in the WITS Programs are popular children’s books that are readily available in school libraries. Use this checklist to determine which
books are already accessible and which you might like to purchase. Remember: you don’t need all the books on this list to start using the WITS Programs. The
programs work best if teachers use at least one WITS book a month with their students. That means you can get the WITS Programs up and running with just 10
WITS books and then build your collection as time goes on. Below you will see a list of all the books currently in the WITS Primary (K-3) and WITS LEADS (4-6)
programs along with the corresponding WITS or LEADS strategy the book and lesson plan focuses on (e.g., WITS – Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, and Seek help;
LEADS – Look and listen, Explore points of view, Act, Did it work, and Seek help).
