Why Poetry for Reading Instruction? Because It Works!

As Robert Louis Stevenson (1981) points out in the following excerpt from his endearing poem “The Swing,” swinging might be one of the most enjoyable acts of childhood. However, we believe that reading, writing, and performing poetry such as “The Swing” might be just as rewarding and is a right of childhood. Most students love and have prior knowledge related to swings, and we strongly believe that level of love and passion also translates to the reading of and performing of poetry.
