Morning all! While we're on the subject of poetry, has anybody compiled poems
to teach the comprehension strategies? As a reading specialist who goes into
rooms I don't have the luxury of tying my lesson to a book previously read or
start a picture book that I can finish later and I'd like to

I use poetry to teach inferring. Off the top of my head I can say I use Every
Living Thing by Cynthia Rylant. I also love anything by Georgia
Heard...Awakening the Heart is awes
Norma..run don't walk to purchase Donald Graves poetry book Baseball Snakes and
Summer Squash.
In that book: Summer Squash works for Creating Mental Images... The Bully or
Last Touch or Giggling in Church for connections
Tons of poems in it that are great for inferring too. Most poems are rich
Visualization should be an easy one!

I did it all the time... Great way to help kids understand the purposes of
poetic devices... How they affect the reader. It's that whole idea of "reading
like a writer..." what affect does onomatopoeia or alliteration have on your
ability to create a mental image??

Yeah, and I do use poetry for visualizing already. I guess I should have said
everything but. Thanks! An old man once said, "There comes a time in your
life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You

One of my favorite strategies - which complements or overlaps with this idea
- is to do poetry dialogues. Got the original idea from Practical Ideas for
Teaching Writing fromt he California UC Irvine Writing Project.
I read a poem aloud. Kids know they will be "talking" to the poem as I read
it
Jen, Is there any way that we could have a focused discussion around a
shared read on the list. That might be a way of getting back our original
focus. This poetry discussion is interesting. Might we take it deeper by
some of us agreeing to read a good book on teaching poetry as a group? Know

I love this thank you for sending it. The way I live my life.

Sally,
Thank you for your leadership!!! :-)
Can't wait to read the discussion!!
Everyone, we are getting active so help me reduce the load on the servers. I
don't think we will need anymore "count me in" messages. There's enough
interest ...
