How to start with poetry for children? Immersion, leisure, enjoyment, fun
‘Poetry plays a powerful role in increasing students’
literacy skills in schools. But unless literacy starts with
goosebumps, laughter, or contemplation, none of us
would bother to read anything but bills, instructions and
road signs. When teaching the reading of poetry the guide
words should be: immersion, leisure, enjoyment, fun.’
