Teaching Ideas for Saving the Butterfly by Helen Cooper - Shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2023

These teaching ideas for Saving the Butterfly by Helen Cooper have been written by the teachers at the CLPE to provide schools and settings with ideas to develop comprehension and extended provision around Klaus Flugge Prize-shortlisted texts for children of all ages. They build on the CLPE's work supporting teachers to use picture books to enhance critical thinking and develop creative approaches in art and writing. 

Saving the Butterfly is a poetic, powerful story about a little brother and a big sister finding a new home and new hope after being rescued from a boat lost in the dark sea.
