Čitanje naglas izvrstan je način za početak lekcije ili za započinjanje razgovora s učenicima o temama o kojima bi moglo biti teško razgovarati u grupi. Čitanje naglas pokazuje učenicima da su ti problemi i osjećaji toliko česti da je netko zapravo napisao knjigu o njima. Ne moraju se bojati podijeliti svoje osjećaje!
Studenti mogu ilustrirati čin dobrote nakon što pročitaju "Budi ljubazan" autora Pat Zietlow Miller kako bi pomogli u socijalnom emocionalnom učenju.
