Reading Well for children

Supporting children's mental health and wellbeing, launching February 2020.

Reading Well for children is a new book list of expert endorsed reading to support children’s mental health and wellbeing.

Teachers, health and social care professionals, or anyone supporting children and families can use the scheme to recommend helpful reading. People can also self-refer via the book list.

Copies of the book list and promotional posters can be obtained from Reading Well, email: readingwell@readingagency.org.uk

Children’s Librarians may be able to visit schools to promote the scheme to pupils, staff and parents.

Further information is available from the Derbyshire County Council website.
