Lost for words? How reading can teach children empathy

Book groups help children explore new texts and learn how differently other people experience life. You could consider joining a free network, such as Chatterbooks. Story-based questioning and discussion works well to build a language for emotions, especially when the teacher and student work together to explore what caused a character to act or feel as they did, and the consequences of their actions and emotions.

Bringing one into school with a brief to deliberately emphasise feelings can help children learn new emotional vocabulary. Getting children deeply engaged with characters is a good way to teach empathy. Writers like Jacqueline Wilson and Cathy Cassidy spring to mind because of their skill in creating characters with strong, unique voices.

But look out too for award winners such as Patrick Ness and Neil Gaiman whose inventive language and robust character development captivates readers.
