A Literacy-First SEL Kit That Turns Storytime Into Daily Acts of Kindness
A Literacy-First SEL Kit for Classrooms, Homes, Therapy Spaces & Community Programs
The What If We Were® Kind Box — Featuring Tally™ is a joyful, literacy-first kindness kit designed to help children build empathy, practice kindness, and celebrate positive behavior—anywhere kids gather.
Whether you’re a teacher, parent, counselor, therapist, after-school leader, or community mentor, this kit makes it easy to create a culture of kindness using one powerful story and a simple, child-friendly routine.
At the heart of the kit is Tally™, your kindness mascot, and the Tally Kindness Coins. When a child shows kindness, they earn a coin and place it into the Tally Pouch. Over time, the pouch fills—giving kids a visual and tactile way to see how their kind actions add up.
Designed with direct feedback from teachers and parents, this kit blends literacy, SEL, and positive reinforcement in a way children connect with instantly.
Perfect for elementary classrooms, counselors, PBIS/MTSS teams, and SEL-focused parents, this literacy-first kit is easy to launch in one class period and powerful enough to transform your classroom culture all year long.
