Synopsis

Did I Hear You Write? by Michael Rosen

Michael Rosen children's poet laureate draws on his visits to thousands of schools to explore the writing culture of children. This second edition of a useful book for teachers and parents includes a new bibliography of recommended books for children.

The job of laureate might have been custom-built for Mr Rosen, and it is something of a surprise that it has taken so long to come his way.
— the Guardian

...both perceptive and informative... The text is peppered with lively anecdotes and insights.
— Junior Education

...a classic text that is still 'alive' and useful in contemporary classrooms. Did I Hear You Write is a superb book. It begins with a discussion and plea for the 'voice' of the child to be heard through the medium of their own writing and continues with a series of ideas to encourage children to write from their own experiences. ...an inspirational book worthy of all staffroom collections.
