Based on years of working with poems, children and teachers, the two authors have gathered their rich and extensive collection of poetry and teaching strategies into a meaningful, manageable programme. With descriptions of poetic genres, lessons and teaching tools, sample poems and ideas for sharing and exploration, this book will inspire, inform and entertain. You can select from a wide range of response activities that will involve children in reading, writing, role-playing and the arts. Assessment techniques for supporting the poetry programme complement this highly readable volume. Stimulate creativity and imagination and learn to create a culture of poetry that demonstrates the power of worlds and strengthens the language lives of children.
