Feel Brave Teaching Guide

Author(s): Avril McDonald

Picture Books

Feel Brave aims to help transform education with the help of creative storytelling. The series is designed to help children explore emotional intelligence, positive psychology and some of the real-life issues which they might face - such as bullying, anxiety, bereavement, friendships and worries - in an engaging, creative, and non-threatening way. Feel Brave broadly supports the personal, social and emotional development (PSED) objectives in the national curriculum, and the teaching guide offers plenty of ready-to-use lesson ideas, meaning this series is not just great independent reading for children, it is ideal for use in the classroom. Suitable for 4- to 7-year-olds.
