Inclusive books for SEND pupils

Our team has put together some lists of recommended books to help cater for your pupils with specific needs or difficulties, including sensory books and books in Braille, as well as books to ensure pupils with special educational needs find themselves represented.

The Department for Education has identified four broad areas of need encompassed by SEND: communication and interaction, cognition and learning, social, emotional and mental health difficulties and sensory and/or physical needs.

The range of need within special educational provision is broad. Some pupils may leave school reading at the level expected for their age while, for others, success may mean reading basic words and text in the world around them with confidence, however every child and young person has the right to an effective and enriching education.

Sensory books – Sound and touch

Sensory books give readers an enhanced experience and an opportunity to interact with a book in a different way; children with visual impairments or other additional support needs especially benefit. With books that provide sensory experiences through tactile patches and sound buttons, these titles can help to develop ‘cause and effect’ learning, while books with sliders and flaps help to develop motor skills.

The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND

The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND is an essential wellbeing resource for educators supporting young people with SEND, providing creative, evidence-based strategies to help pupils develop self-awareness, express their emotions and build resilience.With photocopiable resources designed for use in whole-class, small group or one-to-one settings, this book ensures that emotional support can be tailored to individual needs. Using this book, your pupils will have the ability to recognise and name their emotions, make sense of their sensory needs, develop coping strategies that they can apply in different situations and much more. Each chapter includes assessment tools that gain pupils' views in a meaningful way and contribute to a child's Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP). With its hands-on approach and practical application, this will be your go-to SEND resource.Grounded in psychological theory and adapted therapeutic approaches such as CBT, The Emotional Toolkit for Pupils with SEND equips teaching staff with tools to develop emotional literacy and self-regulation in learners with mild to moderate learning disabilities. This resource offers flexible, easy-to-use activities that help teachers save time. Many are ready to photocopy, while others can be adapted to meet individual pupils' needs and interests. It also includes clear, practical guidance for supporting learners with more complex needs, helping to create an inclusive classroom where every student can thrive.

Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

Teachers are faced by children with a range of additional needs on a daily basis, from physical and medical conditions, to moderate and severe learning difficulties, to behavioural disorders. Dealing with these children can be difficult, challenging and ultimately exhausting. The majority of today's teachers have received little training in this area and, with the best will in the world, are therefore ill equipped to effectively support these children in the classroom. Divided into two parts, 'Train Yourself' and 'Train Others', Cherryl Drabble's book equips primary and secondary teachers and SENDCos with the training and skills they need to fully support children with special educational needs, without neglecting the learning of other children in the classroom. The first half of the book invites teachers to audit their own needs, and get up to speed with current research. This advice is complemented by ten easy practical activities, which teachers can immediately implement in their own classrooms. After completing the first part of the book, the teacher will have gained a deeper understanding of SEND and witnessed the impact of this upon their students.The second part helps professional development leaders improve their whole school approach to SEND. From top tips for successful CPD sessions, information on mentoring colleagues and feeding back from external courses and training and, strategies to strengthen staff skill levels and evaluate practice, Cherryl Drabble has a multitude of effective suggestions that can will ensure that every child, regardless of their needs or ability, fulfils their potential.

How do teachers support struggling readers?

One to one developmental reading and writing can support struggling readers. Reluctant reader book packs for schools are made to specifically help students with low reading comprehension.

What is the best reading intervention for struggling readers?

The best intervention is to understand and address the cause of pupils' difficulty. Dyslexia friendly books, reading books for SEND pupils, or reading with a partner can help.
