Teaching Second Graders to Love Writing Poetry
Just for Second Grade!
Renowned teacher Regie Routman shares her poetry-teaching strategies and a delightful selection of poems written by second graders. Regie provides easy, wonderful lessons on using students' poems—and other poems—as models to invite children to write free-verse poems about things they know and care about, from sports and loveable brothers to favorite topics they're studying. She describes the way she invites children to study the model poem, beginning by asking kids, What do you notice? Includes 20 reproducible poems by second graders, shown in handwritten draft and final published form to share with kids. With this approach, every child will feel successful as a writer.
