Where can I find the primary book that’s used to teach the DWS levels?
QUESTION:
I’ve heard there is a book written by a primary teacher that can be used to teach the DWS Hierarchy to young students. Do you know this book? Where can I find it?
RESPONSE:
Yes, there is such a book! It’s called, “Children of Rainbow School.” The author is Tanis Carter, a primary teacher from British Columbia, Canada and a member of the DWS mailring.
“Children of Rainbow School” was written with input from Dr. Marshall, expressly for introducing the RRSystem to young children. It’s a little book of four short chapters, each one focusing on a level of the Hierarchy. The story takes place at “Rainbow School” where, in the beginning, the children are acting on Level A. As time goes by, they raise their level of behavior to Level D.
For information about ordering this book at the best price, you can email the author directly: tccarter@shaw.ca

I’m wondering if there are many illustrations in this book? I teach English (EFL) through character education at a kindergarten in Japan and would like to do more with DWS. I would like more of a picture book to use with my wee ones.
I recently saw the long list of books representing the different levels, and will do some research on those shortly. Thanks for the support!

Hello Kim,
Unfortunately, this particular book is text only, no illustrations. I can see why, in your ESL situation (English as a Second Language)you would want a book with illustrations. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Kerry
