Poetry Matters

Andrew Lambirth

Revised Edition

This is a book for teachers and student teachers looking for ways to energise their work with poetry in their classrooms. It sets out to help practitioners realise their own poetic potential and existing knowledge of poetry and rhyme. The book provides dynamic ideas and activities that put power back into poetics and will act as the perfect aid for teachers looking to develop children’s language awareness without the strictures of isolated phonics instruction. Reading, performing, discussing, showing, writing, drawing – its all here to make poetry matter for teachers and children.
