Vital resource for anbody in the teaching profession.
This book is invaluable for teaching literacy in Primary Schools. As a 3rd Year trainee teacher this book has proved very useful. When presented with teaching a whole range of poetry in Year 6, the book provided the only basic reference source I needed. It has an easy format to follow by simply grouping the poems in poetry type for example, humourous and shape poems. I did use other poetry books to supplement the book such as, 'The Puffin book of Utterly Brilliant Poetry' edited by Brian Patten, which people would also find useful. By the amount of fellow trainee teachers who have this book I would recommend it to anybody.
Perhaps the best anthology of poetry for children I know.
This marvelous anthology collects all manner of poems for children, from nursery rhymes and nonsense verse to haiku, shaped poems, chants, clerihews, and much more (about 380 poems in all). Many of the poems are clever and funny, which is good for children, but some of them are quiet, thoughtful, and even beautiful. So far, I don't think I've come across any that are needlessly sentimental. Plenty of the poems show a good sense of what it is like to be a child. My sons, ages 7 and 9, are enjoying the book enormously--they've forgotten to ask for poems from their earlier favorite collections. I believe this is the best anthology of poems for children that I know of. Parents, teachers, and kids will all find a great deal here to enjoy.
The Works- a collection of poetry for the Literacy Hour
As a practising Primary School teacher, this collection will be of great use to me. It has a copy of every possible type of poem that you would need in order to teach poetry effectively as part of the Literacy Hour. As the Literacy co-ordinator I am also tempted to buy a copy of this book for every class in the school.
