Easy Poetry Lessons That Dazzle and Delight (Grades 3-6)

Rating:
Summary: Easy to use, high quality, well researched
Review: Of the many poetry instruction books I have read, this one is the easiest to use. The poetry used is by well-known talented poets and of high quality. My class of children responded well and as predicted by the authors. This is the only book I have found that discusses both formal verse and free verse in an enjoyable, nonbiased format. Its list of reccommended reading is detailed without being overwhelming. I wish I had this book years ago!
