Poems are painted window panes, says a famous poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and because they are valuable and useful like these, he encourages us to be uplifted and delighted by them. In other words: poems are treasures that touch us, provide experience and wisdom, provoke thought, or make us cry and laugh, and that is why they are important to us. Above all, children need poems; they enrich their quality of life, inspire their imagination, and engage their minds and feelings. Children love poems when they grow up with them and are encouraged to do so. This book shows how schools can support children in discovering the fascinating world of poetry. Four perspectives are taken into account. The first one presents which genres and forms are suitable for grades one to six.
