Books for writing

For school holidays or long illnesses why not encourage children to keep a diary or a scrapbook. These can be in written or visual form or a combination of the two. Journals are a good way to keep minds active and of encouraging them to reflect on events and experiences.

Books for reading

Short fiction, non-fiction and magazines work well for short attention spans, while longer books are better suited to keen readers or long illnesses. Small, light books can be easier to handle in bed, so this is a time when paperbacks can be better than hardbacks.
