Supporting the new revised Literacy Strategy
BookPower is practical guide to working with books to create a literature programme for the primary classroom. Featuring ten well-written and powerful books which have been chosen because they will stir children’s ideas and feelings, and involve them in discussion, BookPower provides units of work on each, supported by learning aims, text level objectives, key teaching approaches and resources.
The wide ranging classroom activities will encourage children to explore the texts through drama, role play and through visual exploration, and through activities on the accompanying CD. It will also encourage children to think and talk about the books and to read them more intensively, providing inspiration for their own writing.
The BookPower series offers a structured approach to literacy through literature.
