Tutor’s Corner: A Focus On Poetry
 |
Literally Speaking: March 2021
With the
renewed interest in poetry thanks to Amanda Gorman, now is a great time to
examine how you can use poetry in your literacy lessons. Some students – and teachers
- tend to shy away from poetry, but poetry is a great medium to teach adult
learners at varying reading levels.
Without
getting lost in a poet’s intended purpose for writing the poem, Nancy Padak’s “Poetry in the Adult Literacy
Classroom” outlines how you can use poetry to aid in reading and writing
instruction.
Focus on
these four areas:
➧ Comprehension
➧ Fluency
➧ Phonics
➧ Writing
