About the Book

Andy Croft strongly believes that you don’t have to be ‘good at English’ to be able to
enjoy the music of ordinary speech. Using rhythm and rhyme is a democratic creative
act that is equally hard and equally easy for everyone. It has special rules which won’t let
you reach for the first word that comes into your head. Your words have to fit the pattern.
You don’t have to write anything down, but you do have to become a writer. And once you
have become a writer, you might become a reader...
A Creative Approach to Teaching Rhythm and Rhyme is a 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 is a book about
celebrating the music of ordinary speech. It features practical warm-up sessions,
games, models and examples to help pupils to become readers, writers and confident
speakers through the lively practice of rhythm and rhyme.

About the Author

Andy has taught poetry in over 400 schools across the UK (also in Paris, Connecticut, Moscow and Siberia). He has run many CPD days for teachers about using rhythm and rhyme in the classroom. Some of his poems were used in the CBeebies series Poetry Pie (2009). He has written or edited over 80 books. His poetry collections include Nowhere Special, Just as Blue, Great North, Comrade Laughter, Ghost Writer, Sticky, Three Men on the Metro (with W.N. Herbert and Paul Summers) and Nineteen Forty-eight (with Martin Rowson).
