The blog is a collection of poems suitable for young children learning english. The headings that the poems fall under are in line with the topics to be covered in the Up and Away Programme, the guidelines laid out by the Department of Education in Ireland for teaching English as an additional language.

The poems are simple and vocabulary rich. They are accompanied by pictures of vocabulary and suitable for interactive whiteboard use. They will have worksheet and whiteboard activities to accompany them soon.

The idea for the site came about due to frustration trying to find poems simple enough for young english language learners to understand, learn and enjoy.

Before I became a high school teacher four years ago, I spent nineteen years as a community organizer working with low-income families to improve their neighborhoods. I now teach English Language Learners and native-English speakers at the largest inner-city high school in Sacramento, California. In addition to my blog, I have a website with over 8,000 categorized links accessible to English Language Learners and native-English speakers - Larry Ferlazzo. I was the 2007 Grand Prize Winner of the International Reading Association's Presidential Award For Reading and Technology.
