This booklist for primary schools lists children's books that link to each of the SEAL Themes, along with teaching ideas

Primary SEAL family materials to accompany curriculum work in Theme 1, New Beginnings (for England).. The gold set provides a set of activities for families to do at together at home when undertaking Theme 1.

The Purple sets provide ideas for use by staff (for example, in staff meetings or on in-service training days). They are designed to be fun, to encourage learning and reflection, and to support the building of an adult community that is based on trust, support and fairness.

They also aim to equip staff with the confidence and knowledge they need to tackle the areas covered in the SEAL curricular materials, and to provide a forum for developing consistent approaches to work with children. Just like the other colour-coded sets, they provide starting points for discussion, learning and enquiry, individually, in groups or as a school community.

This theme focuses on developing children’s knowledge, understanding and skills in four key aspects of social and emotional learning: empathy, self-awareness, social skills and motivation.
