Why is poetry promoted in Dallington school?<\/p>\n
Why do we want poetry to be\u00a0part of our learning spaces, such as\u00a0pictures or\u00a0music?<\/p>\n
Poetry opens our heart and our soul.<\/p>\n
Poetry cultivates a delight for\u00a0language. It allows children to use language in different ways. It has a special space for English language learners because poems defy rules, they can be accesible to everyone and easily scaffolded.<\/p>\n
Poetry opens children\u00b4s imagination and symbolic language.<\/p>\n
Poetry is rhythm and music. It\u00b4s the most kinesthetic of all literature.<\/p>\n
