My all-time favorite poet is Robert Frost. His poems are simple but complex. They are beautiful and meaningful. I read Stopping By the Woods to my students every day for a week-this helps with fluency as well as vocabulary. And then on Friday I ask them to illustrate the poem. I know with the push for Science of Reading that most poems in reading programs are decodable text. But I think there is value in reading actual poetry as well.
