Poetic Possibilities: Using Poetry to Enhance Literacy Learning

Edited by Susan and Michelle Israel

Getting students to appreciate poetry can be challenging, but Poetic Possibilities: Using Poetry to Enhance Literacy Learning has answers. This anthology contains literacy-focused poems culled from 30 years of The Reading Teacher magazine. Each poem is accompanied by prompts to get educators and students thinking about the poem, along with ideas and activities to integrate poetry into lessons and encourage students to write their own poetry.
