Poetry for Young People: Robert Frost | Robert Frost
12 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
"In an attractive large-size volume...25 poems to introduce Robert Frost to young people. The selections are arranged by the seasons, and Sorensen's handsome watercolor illustrations capture the feel of the New England landscape without in any way trying to provide literal images for the poetry. There's an excellent biographical essay, and at the bottom of each page, Schmidt provides a brief note on some of the possible ways to read the lines....These nature poems show that poetry holds feelings and ideas that everyone can understand".-- "Booklist. "...superb; the poems introduced in a tone that is informative but not pedantic".-- "PW. "...satisfies in every way".-- "SLJ. "Include[s] both well-known favorites and those less often read or quoted. 'Mending Wall, ' 'Birches, ' 'The Road Not Taken' are essential Frost and all are here".-- "Quill & Quire. ". . . thoughtfully compiled and brilliantly illustrated".-- "Buzz Weekly. 48 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.

This book would be best for older audiences or more independent readers as it is possible that they will not completely understand the poems. For this reason I won‘t have it in my classroom

I love Robert Frost‘s poetry, so it was cool finding a children‘s book that allows his poetry to be for younger audiences.

I like that this book has a mature vibe to it but also connects with young readers.

This book has a variety of poems with some that rhyme and some that dont. The illustrations are colorful and make the poems stand out

This Poetry book is a compilation of Robert Frost's most beloved poems edited by Gary Schmidt and Illustrated by Henri Sorensen. This book is sectioned by theme (such as Poems of Autumn) with illustrations and a short description relating to each poem. This is a great book to use when introducing famously accredited poets to young readers. Robert Frost has won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry multiple years, was the United States Poet Laureate

jvinas2 (official poet of the United States) in 1958, and even received a Congressional Gold Medal in 1960, among many other awards throughout his life. Frost also has an award given in his name (Robert Frost Medal) for "distinguished lifetime service to American poetry". This book of poems can be read for an AS and through GR, RT, & S. 7y
jvinas2 ESOL strategies 5, 6 & 36 as well as UDL guidelines 3.1-3.1 & 7.2 would be useful while analyzing the poems in this book. This link http://www.robertfrostfarm.org/teachers.html contains many teacher resources to use for each appropriate grade level while reading Frost's poems within the book. #UCFLAE3414F17 7y
