Explain It - Work Booklet and Guide

The Explain It Emotional Literacy Series - Full Bundle
A complete emotional literacy journey for teenagers SEND-friendly, age-appropriate, and created by a practicing ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant).
Most emotional literacy resources are designed for younger children, leaving teenagers and adults with little that feels respectful or relatable. The Explain It series fills that gap. Each section teaches a single reflection skill - behaviour, emotions, body awareness, scaling, thoughts, and triggers - before bringing everything together in a final full-process worksheet.
This bundle gives you the entire set:
Own It - reflect honestly on behaviour.
Name It - build emotional vocabulary.
Feel It - notice emotions in the body.
Scale It - rate feelings “then vs now.”
Thoughts About It - uncover the thinking behind emotions.
Triggered It - identify situational and sensory triggers.
Explain It - combine all the skills into one reflective narrative.
