- It helps with spellings. Children with a good awareness of rhyme and rhyming skills tend to become better readers and spellers. A focus on rhyme helps them look at patterns within words and how they are formed, supporting word recognition and spelling.
- Speech development improves. Playing with sounds and rhyming patterns in words supports the development of the vocal apparatus in the mouth, pharynx and nose, helping speech and language development.
- Reading becomes more fluent. The tunes and patterns of poems on the page support children in developing reading fluency, meaning poetry is a perfect vehicle for engaging more reluctant readers, as well as for encouraging more confident readers to pay closer attention to the words on the page: an important skill for reading comprehension.
- It allows children to develop their own opinions. A poem is not a puzzle to be solved: there is no right or wrong answer when children are talking about poems or sharing opinions about what they are listening to or reading, which can give them confidence in expressing their views to others in the class.
Poetry plays an important role in education by fostering creativity, self-expression, and critical thinking skills. Integrating poetry into the classroom can enhance students’ language and communication skills, as well as their understanding of cultural and historical contexts.
Reading and writing poetry helps develop important language and literacy skills. It enables students to see the endless possibilities of language in shaping expression and creating meaning. And because poetry often breaks grammar and punctuation rules, it can also be accessible to EAL students.
Poetry can give students a healthy outlet for surging emotions. Reading original poetry aloud in class can foster trust and empathy in the classroom community, while also emphasizing speaking and listening skills that are often neglected in high school literature classes.
