The Poetry Book

Now available!

The Poetry Book is a practical guide to teaching poetry. When students write poetry, it enriches their language and vocabulary, encourages creative thinking and develops reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. All students benefit from writing poetry but ‘at risk’ and reluctant writers can experience particular success from the creative but scaffolded nature of poetry.

The Poetry Book contains detailed information and fun activities that will encourage even the most poetry averse teacher to have a go!

The Poetry Book Includes 31 Quick Writes, 36 mini-lessons and over 100 downloadable resources such as poem exemplars, poem frames and word lists to support students’ writing, plus slideshows, feedback frames, posters and templates.
