| We
all know children love poetry. They love the sounds, the rhythm,
the repetition, the images, the humour, the stories, the mystery
of what some of it means. The Literacy Hour has brought poetry
back to primary schools but not always with a real sense of
enjoyment. It sometimes seems to be more about targets to
cover than the pleasure which poems can offer.
The
poems in our anthologies are real gems to be enjoyed. They
are guaranteed to appeal to children. The books are ideal
for use in group or class sessions and will give children
a varied selection to appreciate and discuss – great,
too, for speaking and listening.
Why
not give your class some real poetry books to read instead
of photocopied sheets all the time? Look at our special prices
for sets of 6 and 16. And don’t forget the notes which
go with the anthologies.
If
on the other hand you want a brilliant selection to use on
the Interactive Whiteboard look at our Key Stage 2
Poetry Pack. It’s full of great poems and is perfect
for bringing lively poetry to the Literacy Hour.
Tell
your class about the Children’s Page. They might like
to send in a poem.
