Activity pages are filled with graphic organizers, interesting photos, and art. The lessons give students specific, clear directions that help them navigate their often confusing social world. The lessons can be presented to individual students or small groups of students. A pretest/posttest, and skills checklist is included in each book.

Each book targets a specific social language skill. The 6-book set consists of:
