Covering the essential areas of practice, this book suggests ways to make your literacy teaching as creative and engaging as possible. Children get the most out of their learning when it is exciting, and this book offers great ideas for classroom practice, whilst making careful links to research.

Sections advise on teaching narrative, poetry and non-fiction, and each chapter contains case studies and ideas to try out in practice. The authors cover a broad range of topics, including:

- exploring traditional tales

- writing from experience

- using playground games as a foundation for literacy

- performing poetry.

Written for teachers working with children aged 3-11 years, this book gives you the opportunity to develop children′s literacy in enjoyable and interesting ways.
