Foster, Susan J.

Thresholds in Education, v24 n3 p11-14 Aug 1998

A first-grade teacher investigated the use of daily poetry readings to help students develop certain characteristics of skilled readers, including fluency and comprehension. Students in a class receiving poetry-reading instruction had higher comprehension scores and reading levels than students in a control class receiving basal-reader instruction. (14 references) (MLH)
