Book Description
The message in Creating Readers with Poetry is simple and strong: Poetry helps children learn to read! 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. He includes a CD of sung and spoken poetry performed by noted children's poets and students to use as instructional models.
