Teacher Tips
Choral Reading: Poetry is ideal for choral reading as poems can easily be performed by a group. Our partner poems offer unique possibilities for choral reading. Instead of having individual students read each partner’s part, have groups of students chorally read the parts of each partner. In order for groups to read in unison and with appropriate expression, plenty of practice (repeated readings) will have to be done.
