Shared Reading is an exciting method for reading aloud and group conversations. The Shared Reading method is about reading and sharing thoughts about a short story or poem. The method is undemanding and anyone can participate. No prior knowledge of literature is required and participants do not need to read texts at home to be able to participate in a Shared Reading group. The method broadens the perspective on one's own life, can change the self-image to the positive and give a sense of context. Shared Reading is a well-researched method and can give an improved self-esteem, an improved self-confidence and increase participants' interest in texts. All people over the age of 18 who are interested could join a group. The method gives the greatest effect to people who have a depression/anxiety.
