Paula Reeves, Emotional Literacy Lead, Brooke Hill Academy
Richard Evans' Independent Thinking on Emotional Literacy is exactly what we have been waiting for in schools. Everyone is acutely aware, now more than ever, that teaching emotional literacy is one of the most important things we can do to help a child's sense of well-being and future success - and it is also well known that emotionally literate children perform better in school. But how do we teach it? Cue Richard to the rescue, as his vast experience of tutoring nurture groups and his sense of humour make reading the book feel like you are chatting with a good friend. He pulls together a range of theoretical perspectives and offers plenty of suggestions on how to develop students' independent thinking in order to help them find solutions for each scenario around the passport, which can also be adapted to suit your own setting.  

Essential reading for anyone passionate about helping children and young people become more emotionally literate.
