The Poetry Foundation

Are you looking for a engaging way to incorporate poetry into your lessons?   The Poetry Foundation, which is located in Chicago, has an amazing website that is packed full of resources.   The one that especially caught my eye at the CAWP conference was that you can actually have authors read their poems to you!  When you go to their website, click on the "Poems & Poets".  You can browse by poems, poets, or season poems.   When you are browsing, you can search for poems that include audio and that are good for children.  How great to include a poem in a "bouquet" of texts you use in your close reading instruction, and then have the author read the poem to your students.   Be sure to check it out!
