Glow-worms

The Glow-worms series is the poetry strand of the Oxford Reading Tree. The books feature poems by well-known contemporary children's poets on themes that have been specially chosen to match topics that are relevant to children aged 4-8.

The books:

• are designed to be used to introduce poetry in the classroom
• are linked to themes in the Oxford Reading Tree stories, so can be used in conjunction with them
• use a core of high frequency words
• develop phonological skills through rhyme, alliteration and spelling patterns
• are illustrated in a wide range of styles to enhance children's enjoyment of poetry
