Ratings and Reviews
These poems are so catchy and easy to use, my children amaze me at how quickly they pick up the words. I can hear them reciting them to their parents and to each other during provision. They love the actions and look forward to a new poem each week.
The Poetry Basket has become a regular part of our provision in Reception. The children love it.
