BookTrust Represents
BookTrust Represents is our programme which supports and promotes authors and illustrators of colour. Head to our 'Support for Schools' page to sign up for our free virtual author visits and find book recommendations.
Poetry Prompts is the flagship programme from Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, designed to encourage a love of reading and writing poetry.
A new video is released each week with a fun activity for children to try, from writing haiku to discovering techniques like alliteration, rhyme and similes.
Each video is accompanied by a downloadable resource from CLPE to help you make the most of the videos in your classroom.
