This lively book offers a host of ways for teachers to bring poetry and children together in their classrooms. Based on the premise that poetry and verse, properly presented, promote literacy, this practical handbook includes: introductions to children's poets and their poetry, advice on poetry writing from the poets themselves, examples of classroom poetry projects in elementary and middle school, methods to successfully present poetry to students of any age, and useful lists of noted children's poets. The text also includes accounts of poetry projects undertaken outside of classrooms, encouraging parents and caregivers to share poetry with children.
