HOW
TO WRITE, RECITE, AND DELIGHT IN ALL KINDS OF POETRY
“I
teach 4th grade and use this book as a basis for my Friday creative writing
lessons. My students love it and can’t wait for language class that
day. If I forget, they are quick to remind me it is poetry day!”
– Elizabeth Bankey, Tokyo, Japan
“This book is great for both teachers and students. It includes everything
you need to teach, write, and enjoy poetry. I teach 6th grade and would
love to have a class-set of this book! Great reference!”
– A reader from Pennsylvania
“When my third-grader came home with homework to 'write a poem,’
this was the best book I found to teach the tools needed to write a poem."
– A reader from Fairfax, Virginia
"Young
people are encouraged to experiment with variety of poetic forms and to
recite and preserve their creations. This great resource for the teacher
that is resistant to poetry. Good pointers with child created poetry and
pictures that enhance the text. Should make the poetry experience for
all a success!"
