Teachers know that poetry is a great deal more than just an add-on or an “enrichment” to be fitted into the curriculum at a spare moment. And they are aware of how positively children respond to and learn from reading and writing poetry. The key is to know where to start and how to develop teaching ideas that make poetry a natural and enjoyable part of classroom work. The text is organized around strategies for using poetry. There are thirty-three detailed strategies spelled out and nearly three hundred brief suggestions. Sidebars contain information on such topics as criteria and a checklist for selecting the kinds of poetry children like, and descriptions of poetry forms. Each section contains:
- A description of a strategy that is applicable to many situations.
- A vignette by Marilyn or Ginnie telling how the strategy worked in their classrooms.
- A list of extensions-more ways the strategy can be adapted in the classroom.
- Examples of student work.
