Multivoice Magic: Poetry as Shared Reading

Multivoice Magic: A collection of poems with strong rhythm and rhyme, selected especially for group reading and performance.

Poetry is meant to be heard! Multivoice Magic presents poems in ways which enhance the joy of rhythm and sound in language.

Poetry as shared reading—that's what "multivoice" means. It produces enjoyable performances of poems from any group of children, whatever their skills as oral readers. Most importantly, children enjoy it and enjoy hearing others do it.

Multivoice Magic offers:

• • a selection of poetry for 5–12 year olds, concentrating on well-written poems with strong, regular and attractive rhythm and rhyme
   
• • Scripted poems that can be easily performed by large or small groups
   
• • Teacher's notes suggesting simple, practical ways to dramatize many of the poems
   
• • Ideas for using the poems as a starting point for developing students' own skills as poets
   
• • Unscripted poems for children to develop their own performances All poems and scripted poems may be photocopied for classroom use.
