Poems Out Loud by Brian Moses

Poems Out Loud by Brian Moses

This collection of approximately 40 poems features work by some of the UK's top children's poets. The focus is on poems that come to life in performance and meet the needs of the classroom teacher, particularly at Key Stage 2 in terms of delivering the Literacy Hour requirements for poetry. Paul Cookson, Michael Rosen, Andrew Fusek Peters, Pie Corbett, Wes Magee and John Rice are some of the featured poets. Ethnic minorities are strongly represented, including work by John Agard, Valerie Bloom, Debjani Chatterjee and Adisa. Brian Moses has compiled this collection not only to demonstrate the richness and excitement of poetry, but also to meet a wide variety of curriculum needs.

[Valerie Bloom's] work adds quality to an entertaining enterprise with several high spots.. The outstanding item, for me, is John Agard's magnificent reading of Blakes's 'TheTyger' with discreet but atmospheric background music. I can't imagine a group of children not being collectively enthralled by this. It would make the perfect opening to an assembly. - Times Educational Supplement

Original and well worth a listen - The Sunday Times

Plenty here to entertain and stimulate children of all ages. A few stand out... A collection worth having. - School Librarian

Certain to prove popular ... fun and definitely delivers the goods. - Carousel
