A Creative Approach to Teaching Rhythm and Rhyme

Andy Croft (Author)

Description

A Creative Approach to Teaching Rhythm and Rhyme is a book about using words, sounds, echoes, patterns and rhythm in the primary classroom. It is a book about hearing the poems found in football chants, nursery rhymes, radio jingles, TV adverts, raps and tabloid headlines. Most importantly, it is a book about celebrating the music of everyday speech.

This is a practical guide for primary teachers to develop pupils’ speaking and listening skills – their use of anticipation and memory and their ability to enjoy language and participate in its common music. It features practical warm-up sessions, games, models, templates and examples to help pupils to become readers, writers and confident speakers through the lively practice of rhythm and rhyme.
