| About the Book | ||
| Drawing on a lifelong love of poetry and a deep devotion to children’s literacy, educator Walter B. Barbe has selected poems published in Highlights for Children magazine that are ideal for elementary readers. With subjects ranging from animals and the changing seasons to humour, wishes and dreams, the poems in this collection will delight young children all through the school year. For teachers, Dr Barbe describes the best way to introduce a poem to children and, in accompanying skills notes, offers helpful suggestions for how to best use poetry in teaching young students to read. The books include exercises that relate the enjoyment of poetry to reading with understanding. | ||
