| Abstract: | This article was developed to assist the regular education elementary classroom teacher in utilizing practical bibliotherapy
strategies for the inclusive classroom. Using quality children’s literature for bibliotherapy helps students to grow socio-emotionally
by identifying with the main character in the story with a disability which leads to personal insight and growth. Teachers
will learn how to use a checklist which was developed by the authors to select appropriate bibliotherapy literature and lead
classroom discussions. A top ten list of books on bibliotherapy for the inclusive elementary classroom is provided. |
