HEADS UP

Check out this Refugee and Migrant Stories booklist

National Literacy Trust team from the Young Readers Programme have compiled this booklist that celebrates the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.

Teachers of children aged 5 to 12 (Key Stages 1 and 2, or P1 to P7) may find these titles especially useful when teaching empathy, supporting children's understanding of how conflict causes people to leave their homes. It may have particular relevance if your school community is welcoming new pupils impacted in this way.

As you will be aware, it is essential to be sensitive to lived experience and emotional responses in your classroom when approaching this theme.
