A selection of books that teachers and those who take assemblies have found useful:

Understanding Children Understanding God by Ronni Lamont

A practical book by the editor of this site that outlines current thinking on child development and spirituality, and brings them together to propose effective ways to work with children.

"Those who find educational theory hard going will find the writer's lucid and personal style both accessible and interesting. It is not just about children but about ourselves and our own innate spirituality that may have been buried in adulthood."
RE Today

"Should be on the bookshelves of every church leader, and form part of the basic training of all volunteers who work closely with children."
Church Times
