Reading for well being

Reading Well for Children in your local library

Reading Well for Children is a list of books to provide children and their families and carers with information, advice and support for coping with feelings and worries, daily life and getting through a tough time

Books have been chosen and endorsed by leading health professionals (NHS England, Mind, the Royal College of GPs, the School Library Association, and colleagues from public libraries) and co-produced with children and families.

The booklist is targeted at children in Key Stage 2 (aged 7-11) but includes a wide range of reading levels to support less confident readers, and to encourage children to read together with their siblings and carers.

The list covers:

  • Maintaining good mental health and wellbeing
  • Understanding and managing feelings
  • Dealing with worries
  • Navigating the world around you (at school, online, in the news)
  • Dealing with tough times (when someone dies, trauma, when a parent/carer has mental health needs)
  • Living well specific diagnosed conditions (including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), OCD and physical disabilities)

You can borrow any of the Reading Well for Children or Shelf Help for Young People books from any Lancashire Library for free. For more information, visit your local library or visit: https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/libraries-and-archives/libraries/
