In this innovative resource, Nile Stanley offers you teaching techniques that transform reading from a two-dimensional world of boredom and frustration into a three-dimensional world of voice, movement, and artistic expression. He shows you how poetry supports the teaching of reading and allows students to relax and blossom. His mini-lessons and engaging activity poems provide standards-based reading instruction that also build community, confidence, and enthusiasm.

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.
