Title overview

The Poetry Book is a practical guide to teaching poetry covering:
  • planning
  • skills for writing poetry 
  • quick writes 
  • integrated poetry units
  • sharing and celebrating poetry.​
When students write poetry:
  • it enriches their language and vocabulary

  • 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.
