The Poetry Society have set up a dedicated ‘Learning from Home’ page, which links to a wide variety of free resources for students, from Year 1 to Further Education. Click here to find out more: https://poetrysociety.org.uk/education/learning-from-home/

The resources include: videos made by poets, which cover writing exercises: the Young Poets Network, full of writing challenges, advice, and opportunities for young writers aged 5-25; and Poetry Class, a bank of lesson plans for students in Key Stages 1-5, all designed by experienced poet-educators and poetry-passionate teachers.

They hope that these resources provide young people with an enriching extension to the English work set by their teachers, as well as a means of expressing themselves and of staying connected during this difficult time.

Love the poetry written by teens. By reading these we can see what is possible.
