January is “Read a Poem a Day” Month
Can’t take credit for knowing this. Thanks Julia Martin. Thought everyone should know that January is “Read a Poem a Day” Month. Poetry is a great way to teach voice and tone in writing. Since there are many ways to interpret poetry, it lends itself well to close reading. Poems make great mentor texts! So . . . read a poem a day with your students this month.
