National Poetry Day, remember? Remember!
Here are Scholastic’s top five reasons for why we need poetry, in school and out!
- Poetry is rhythm and music and beats – it’s fun to read, to write and to perform
- Poetry fosters social and emotional learning
- Poetry is the perfect opportunity for developing speaking and listening skills – they’re at the cornerstone of every curriculum!
- Poems defy rules and are useful for encouraging creativity, particularly for EAL and SEN students
Why not mark the occasion by reading some of your favourite poems at home or in school?
This year’s National Poetry Day theme is Remember – so start with a rendition of Remember me when I am gone away by Christina Rossetti, or even Remember remember, the fifth of November – it’s nearly bonfire night, after all…
Happy rhyming, all!
