Close Do you enjoy poetry but your grandchildren, children, younger siblings or nieces and nephews don't? Here are five ways to help children like poetry. Read them poetry that both of you will like (hint: Homer is not a good idea). Doing this is a way to keep you from being bored and the child from being bored. If you don't like mother goose rhymes, don't read them. There are many good childrens books, that may peak your interest and theirs. Authors like A. A. Milne, Bruce Lansky, and Shel Silverstein are good places to start. Just read things you enjoy. As a general rule if you don't enjoy it, they won't, because they see no enthusiasm coming from you. Not to say, that they will always like what you like, but you do need to enjoy what you teach. Play rhyming games with them.

Small school and small learning community programs have tremendous potential to serve as catalysts for the renewal of America's public schools.

Small schools that set their sights on creating meaningful educational experiences are Charter Schools mastery learning charter schools that promote scholarship, personal advanced placement responsibility and enthusiasm for learning. The point here is that in the Charter Schools that I envision, these charter school curriculum attitudes would not be so test scores charter school performance much mandated or required as they would be natural outgrowths of a school culture and a curriculum design that presents students with appropriately charter schools sequenced personal and academic challenges, charter school development that invites them to participate, and that licenses them to inquire. essential , and that it has value and meaning.
