POETRY READING
Here are some ideas for implementing poetry reading into your
classroom:
1) Use a projector (or copies of a poem) to guide a choral reading of
a poem.
2) Read the poem as a small group. Take turns having a small group
read the poem or just take turns reading stanzas (sections).
3) Let the students read the poem in pairs. Each one can read a part
of the poem. They can work together to practice reading the poem
as a team or in parts so they can read it to the class.
4) Use a spiral notebook to have the students create a poetry
notebook. They can glue new poems into their notebook. These
poems can go into their reading bag with their other books so they
can read it during SSR or Daily 5. The poetry notebook can also be
sent home as a homework reading assignment.
