Title: Poetic possibilities
Description: "The literacy-themed poems in this anthology--reprinted from the premier journal for literacy educators, "The Reading Teacher"--give teachers, literacy coaches, and parents a new way to enhance literacy learning. Use this book to: (1) Integrate poetry into classroom lessons to develop students' lifelong love of reading and writing; (2) Motivate students of all ages with opportunities for meaningful reading and writing; (3) Encourage students and colleagues to write poetry; and (4) Promote professional reflection, growth, and change. Each poem is accompanied by prompts to get students thinking and by a literacy application to help the teacher use the poem in the classroom. The reader will also find ways to make meaningful connections with literacy and additional resources to prompt further thinking or research on the poem's topic."--Publisher's website (www.reading.org).
