Fantastic and very catchy... I went home singing the sample version after one hearing so there is no age limit! ...Would I purchase this resource for my teaching? 100% yes!

This is an excellent resource - lots of very catchy, short raps and poems that are sure to stick in the children's minds. The poster-style resources are great for display, and the smaller versions are good for individual use... Appeals to all kinds of learners - the posters aid visual memory, the CD provides ideas for music/rap rhythm, and other stimuli such as sweets etc appeal to the kinaesthetic learner.

S Powell, MFL Co-ordinator and Peer Reviewer

Kinaesthetic and musical intelligence will tap in to a resource like this and pupils will gain a lot from it. It is completely different to yet another 'boring' worksheet/textbook!

R O'Daly, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Love the one to the tune of the Marseillaise - kills two birds with one stone - by including cultural element!

C Davenport, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

Song and rhymes are good for helping pronunciation and repeating structures. Many of the songs cover a good range of important vocabulary that would help students to recall during tests.

N Reynolds, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

I really like the notes on topic and presentation that give good ideas on how to use the resource in the best possible way.
