NetSupport Radio is honoured to chat to children's author, Michael Rosen!

Russell Prue chats to none other than children's author, Michael Rosen! Michael talks about his upcoming book and presentation at Bett 2023, which will feature his book 'Write to feel right' (all about writing for wellbeing) and reading some of his poems.

He discusses what the education system can do to improve the state of writing for young people – stopping the narrow focus on labelling the grammatical elements and trying to fit them all in and instead expose students to many styles of writing to inspire creativity.

On reading, he comments that reading was invented for pleasure (not simply for the purpose of exams) and that it is important to allow young people to choose books they are interested in.
