Larraine S Harrison Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

@PrimarySchoolBC Just finished reading a charity shop find - Black Hearts in Battersea by Joan Aiken - it kept my interest -a good story but written in 1965 it is of it's time with some implicit values that might be interesting to challenge with children nowadays.

Just been to the amazing Newark book fest. where Thomas Taylor was briefly talking about his latest book Festergrimm - Another Eerie on Sea story - all great for using drama - children play townspeople talking & writing about what they see etc. I've mentioned Eerie in my books. https://t.co/eNDPVyQosK

@MissJJones95 Hi My own book Drama and Reading for Meaning ages 4-11 https://t.co/zaRoKEp3Ju has a paragraph about inclusion and many of my ideas work with SEN or can be adapted. For older SEN try Drama for the Inclusive Classroom by Sally Bailey. Good luck.

@PrimarySchoolBC Just read all the positive comments on PSBC about The Songwalker by @ZillahBethell - the book deserves every word of it - there are similarities to The Shark Caller in that it includes a deep relationship between 2 girls - so well written in both books.

Yes I have read the Valley of Lost Secrets and The Night Bus Hero - and used them for drama work too. Both great books. Not read the other one but heard it is good. https://t.co/QxHVucqUK3

@MrNotTybalt My Upper KS2 sections work for KS3. Inspiring Writing Through Drama 7-16 by Patrice Baldwin (Bloomsbury 2012) is great but not many short ideas 4 En classroom. In 2000 I wrote 'Drama Links' for KS3 En. teachers (Hodder). 2nd hand copies may be out there. DM me- glad to help. https://t.co/Mfa93unTHk

For primary teachers wanting ideas to support children for whom English is an additional language ESL - drama strategies can help but can I recommend Performative Language Teaching in Early Education by Joe Winston Bloomsbury Academic.
