Why Put Poetry at the Heart of Curriculum
Poetry can teach so MUCH:
~ vocabulary
~ higher level language structures
~ content area information from science to social studies to math & health
~ all forms of English lessons about grammar & punctuation
~ spelling
~ helps with reading & fluency
~ refining memorization skills
~ public speaking
This immersion in poetry approach can lead to very strong & remarkable poems from 3rd graders!

Memorizing & Reciting Poetry can start early using the same techniques I use. Take a look at a remarkably moving 3-year-old reciting "Litany" by Billy Collins.
