Unlocking the Poet in Every Child looks at the ways in which poetry supports many aspects of literacy by making links with other curriculum areas, as well as providing a huge variety of models for writing, opportunities to consider grammar and punctuation, and to widen vocabulary.The book offers a wide range of strategies for teaching poetry, as well as practical activity ideas that are broadly arranged in order of difficulty, starting with ideas that work with reception children, with the teacher scribing the children's ideas, and ending with ideas that will challenge the most able children at the top of the primary school. An anthology of poems is also included to support poetry in the classroom. Published by Ransom Publishing for reluctant and struggling readers.
