AmblesideOnline Year 2 Poetry Anthology (annotated): terms 1-3

by Leslie Noelani Laurio (Editor), Walter de la Mare, James Whitcomb Riley

Walter De La Mare, Eugene Field, James Whitcombe Riley, and Christina Rossetti are names which conjure magic and delight among those who are fond of poetry for children, including not a small number of children brought up in touch with their birthright of open air play, and cozy corners for dreaming over their books.
Children already think and feel most of what they will come across in these poems, only they have not yet been given the words to express those thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Give your children the benefit of the rich thought-life and strong vocabulary that comes from reading good poems. Give your entire family a rich blessing and make reading these poems part of your daily lives. Share them together, and grow together in appreciation and enjoyment of one of the finer arts.
Unconvinced? It is always hard to convince somebody who has never tried it that one's native food is delicious, but the proof is in the trying, after all. Give them a fair tasting, one bite (or one poem) a day for a season. If you struggle with them, find audio recordings and listen together. Little by little, over time, see if they don't change the way you see the world, sprinkling the every day with the sheen of poetry.

This was for year 2 of school for my kids and they really enjoy Christina Rossetti. She’s one of our favorite poets.
