Abstract: This Teaching and Learning Guide highlights how early childhood teachers can support emotional intelligence and inferential comprehension by drawing children's attention to characters' feelings and by asking students to notice evidence from the illustrations and text. During this read-aloud in Ms. Clark's first grade classroom, we see evidence of the power of picturebooks to teach and support emotional intelligence and inferential comprehension. The purpose of this Teaching and Learning guide is to promote the use of picturebooks to teach social and emotional learning, particularly emotional intelligence thorough the use of inferential comprehension of characters' emotions using text and illustrative evidence.
