This clip focuses on poetry for our youngest children - its importance and the impact it has when give the status and promence it deserves.

In this video, the importance of poetry for children in the Foundation Stages is explained. We look at how the teaching of poetry skills and knowledge in these key, formative years equips children to be readers and writers for life. We also explore how poetry is linked to the EYFS guidance and the status it is given in the DfE reading framework.
