This Teacher Guide was created by Lizzie and the Birds author, Dawn Robertson,
who works as a consultant, helping pupils and teachers to deliver book-based
learning.

Initially, she produced a large bank of activities and resources, which were
trialled in a variety of schools, with children of all ages.

Teachers and pupils were then asked to give their opinions about which
activities they thought were the most effective and challenging and should be
included in this Teacher Guide. Dawn listened carefully to this feedback as was
keen for the materials to be as comprehensive as possible, enabling
everybody to use them effectively in the classroom.
