Social+Emotional+Development

__**Social/Emotional Development**__
 * Social **
 * Book clubs, reading groups, and discussions are social experiences (Fister, 2005).
 * After reading, children are able to "better articulate their thoughts" and control their emotions (Doyle & Bramwell, 2006)

[]
 * Emotional **
 * Books can "provide pathways for thought that are flexible and responsive to the multiple and concurrent human issues that continually create and recreate, flow, form and reform the inner and outer frames of our being" (Witte-Townsend & DiGiulio, 2004).
 * "Ten-year-old Olivia LaTronica said she enjoyed imagining characters in Holes, but in the movie, they weren't as she imagined them" (ALSC Research and Development Committee).
 * People might feel this way about Dudley Dursley from the Harry Potter series. He's described as having a "thick blonde hair that lies smoothly on his thick, fat head"
