Poetry is the most undervalued
resource in literacy education. Reading and discussing poetry develops
the imagination, exposes students to poetic language, helps readers go
beyond literal meanings to consider figurative language and symbolism,
and provides opportunities for students to enjoy the rhythms and rhymes
of language. To support readers, teachers provide opportunities for
students to read and discuss poems often. Poetry should become an integral part of Reader's Workshop.
