No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you!

The 100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice with their peers. A year-round campaign to celebrate the 100th book in our series is launching in July!

Each title includes at least ten additional extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage all learners.

Adam Bushnell and Frankie O'Reilly present 100 poetry activities for the primary classroom that are quick, engaging and effective.

Poetry's rhythmic and repetitive nature helps children develop phonemic awareness, vocabulary and reading fluency. This must-have book provides pages of quick and easy ideas for poetry lessons, including how to create a poetry-friendly classroom, interpreting poetry, writing structured poems, performance poetry and many more. Including cross-curricular ideas so that poetry is not limited to English lessons, this book will help you inspire your class to enjoy poetry through art, drama, history, dance and music.

Written by experts in their field, 100 Ideas books offer practical ideas for busy teachers. They include step-by-step instructions, teaching tips, taking it further ideas and online resources.
