Transform the way students experience language with Bring Poetry Alive, a vibrant collection that merges poetry, performance and creative expression. Spanning early years to upper primary, this collection supports teachers to build literacy skills through engaging, arts-rich approaches that make poetry meaningful and accessible.
Students explore rhythm, rhyme and storytelling through a diverse range of resources, from playful picture books like Too Many Cheeky Dogs and Go Home, Cheeky Animals! to performance-based experiences in rap, spoken word and drama. With high-quality videos (including Auslan-supported readings), lesson sequences, and creative activity guides, teachers can confidently deliver lessons that support reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Aligned to the Australian Curriculum: English and The Arts (Drama and Music), the collection encourages cultural understanding, particularly through authentic First Nations perspectives and storytelling. Visual and multimodal learning is also strengthened through concrete poetry tasks.
Designed for busy classrooms, Bring Poetry Alive offers ready-to-use, flexible resources that foster creativity, inclusion and student voice—helping every learner connect with poetry in dynamic and memorable ways.
