Poetry To Learn From

What's In A Poem?

So I had this thought, or rather a question.  Can writing poetry be used to help students who struggle to read?  I think so.  I think having students write poetry can help them develop their meta-cognition (masters word alert) skills.  The student can start to understand why they are writing and hopefully they can develop better skills for reading and understanding other types of writing.

Tell me what you think.  Leave a comment on whether you think writing poetry can help develop students' reading comprehension skills.
