Description

This book "provides teachers with a readable and highly practical book on the teaching of poetry in the classroom....[The author] identifies the common problems he has observed in poetry instruction in our elementary schools and shares his responses to those problems and deficiencies, demystifying poetry along the way and offering suggestions on incorporating it into a language arts curriculum. Written to provide teachers with a better and more complete understanding of the nature of poetry as well as a collection of specific teaching strategies, the book will help good language arts teachers become even better teachers of poetry."
