Strengthen linguistic skills with Linguistic Development through Poetry Memorization from the Institute of Excellence in Writing. Designed to introduce students to the power of memorized language, this multi-year, mastery-based program focuses on memorizing and reciting poems to build mental discipline and develop sophisticated linguistic patterns. Suitable for grades K-12, the program progresses through four levels of increasingly complex poetry, with a fifth level featuring famous speeches like The Gettysburg Address and We Shall Fight on the Beaches. Students and teachers engage in daily recitations, mastering each poem through repetition and reinforcing retention.
The Teacher's Manual offers detailed instructions, memory charts, certificates, and poet biographies to guide the learning process. The Student Book provides the full text of the poems, annotated speeches, and helpful memorization charts. The set of Audio CDs contains all the poems and speeches, allowing students to listen and recite along with the recordings.
This kit includes:
- Teacher's Guide, 206 pages, spiral-bound soft cover
