Poems for all!

Time to teach is now about to offer a brand new service and needs the help of as many teachers as possible from all around the world to help. As you know, www.timetoteach.co.uk is a very easy name to remember, so when you tell them little George or Jane as a poem on the site, the parents are not likely to forget the address and can read and comment on their child's poem. You can also read the poems and comment as to how they could improve their writing styles or make them longer and better.

At the end of the year, if there is enough interest, the poems will then be complied by the Time to Teach team and made into a book which will be sold for about $20 (£10) per copy, plus postage from Romania. Parent all over the world will then be able to see their child's work in print, and to treasure and send onto grandparents etc, who are often many countries away.

I am happy for you to send whole classes, though would prefer you weed out the less brilliant or re-edit them in the class prior to submitting them here as we need to keep a certain standard if we are to publish them at the end of the year.

As I know teachers will be keen to exploit this new amount of exposure, if teachers or parents send me their email addresses, I can then send them an invite to become a free member of the poetry club and to directly add their poems to the site rather than having to email each set of poems to me.

Let me know if are interested or tell your friends about this new service.
