Stories That Connect Us |

Stories that connect us - embedding shared reading in your local authority For children in foster care, kinship care and adoption, shared reading can create powerful moments of connection that build trust, emotional safety and belonging. Particularly for children who have experienced disruption or loss, stories can provide comfort, stability and a safe way to explore feelings. BookTrust is pleased to share our new animation, Stories that connect us. It is based on real conversations with children and carers. It captures what we know and see in in our work - that in those everyday moments of shared attention, children feel seen and understood and relationships are strengthened. |
