Reading is a powerful tool for improving mental wellbeing in tough times, advises our Librarian Mrs Copeman.

To help, The Reading Agency has pulled together some fantastic digital resources for children and young people, adults and teachers to support us during lockdown. Please see the full list at https://linktr.ee/thereadingagency

Their brilliant Reading Well for Children booklist provides quality-assured information, stories and advice to support children's mental health and wellbeing. All the books have been chosen and recommended by leading health professionals and are aimed at children in Key Stage 2 (aged 7 to 11 years old).

Older pupils can see their 'Shelf Help' section containing 'reading well' advice for 13 to 18 year olds. Publisher of Young Adult and Teen fiction, Hot Key Books also has a list of happy, hopeful and uplifting stories that will make you smile.
