  • Poems to Enjoy, Book One, edited by Verner Bickley -- IN PRINT & AVAILABLE NOW! Like all five books in the 3rd edition of the Poems to Enjoy series, an audio recording of all poems in the book is included.

     

     VERNER BICKLEY, MBE, PhD, is a well-known "voice", educationist, and adjudicator, who has held director-level positions in Universities and Government Departments. He is Chairman of the English-Speaking Union (HK) and Co-Founder of the International Proverse Prize for unpublished writing. He travels frequently to judge public-speaking competitions and regularly adjudicates verse and prose speaking and reading, as well as drama and choral speaking.

     Dr Bickley's series of graded poetry anthologies - POEMS TO ENJOY - is a well-established tool for learning and teaching English at all levels. The five books are each accompanied by an audio recording of poems in the book. The recordings assist pronunciation and help those preparing for solo verse speaking and reading, duo and group-work and choral-speaking in Speech Festivals. They also enhance reading experience. Useful notes and a teaching guide are also included.

     Taken as a whole, this five-book series is suitable for all students, teachers and parents. Book 1 can be used and enjoyed by Primary 1-3 students and Book 2 by Primary 4-6 students.
