program that supports literacy and
successful school behaviors to at-risk children at their earliest
point of entry to the educational system. The Dinosaur School
Classroom based program is designed to be delivered two times each
week with corresponding activities to reinforce each concept.
The program uses vignettes of other children encountering problems
and applying the skills of the program. The hallmark of the
program are the life-sized (3 foot) puppets that assist in
delivering the program by engaging the children in role plays and
discussions of feelings, problem identification and practice of
various solutions and rehearsal of self-soothing and emotion
regulation skills. These puppets incorporate the play therapy
concept of entering the child’s world to facilitate learning and
the children become more willing to practice literacy and problem
solving as they engage with these amiable puppets.
