Creative Literacy Resources for Town is by the Sea by Joanne Schwartz and Sydney Smith

A set of creative literacy resources for KS1 produced by The Children’s Bookshow to accompany Town is by the Sea by Joanne Schwartz and Sydney Smith.

Aimed specifically at Years 2 to 4, but adaptable for other year groups, these activities can be used by teachers and families to encourage reading for pleasure and harness children’s artistic skills.

Providing a range of ideas for different art activities linked to the book, this resource offers a great hook for children to develop reading for pleasure using a creative approach.

The PDF also provides links to further information about Sydney Smith, and features suggestions for writing activities which could form the basis of a series of literacy lessons.

The Children’s Bookshow is a charity that inspires children with a love of reading through an annual programme of in-theatre and digital performances and in-school workshops with the very best authors and illustrators from around the world.
