AmblesideOnline Poetry Anthology Volume Three: William Blake, Sara Teasdale, Hilda Conkling, Helen Hunt Jackson

by Donna-Jean A. Breckenridge (Editor), Lynn Bruce (Editor), Wendi Capehart (Editor)

"[A student] should have practice, too, in reading aloud, for the most part, in the books he is using for his term’s work. These should include a good deal of poetry, to accustom him to the delicate rendering of shades of meaning, and especially to make him aware that words are beautiful in themselves, that they are a source of pleasure, and are worthy of our honour; and that a beautiful word deserves to be beautifully said, with a certain roundness of tone and precision of utterance." (Charlotte Mason, Home Education)

This book contains a selection of poems carefully chosen for the use of students using the AmblesideOnline Curriculum, Year Three, but enjoyable for those of all ages. In addition, we have included our own biographical and teaching notes.

These are not just poems: they are friends who touched our hearts, made us smile, helped us see the world in a new way, helped us give words to what we were already seeing.

Took a break for Lenten poetry, but picked it back up after Easter. Simple progress growing and learning from Vol 2 to 3. Looking forward to Vol 4 next

My ideal was to have beautiful old poetry book from each of the poets listen in whichever AmblesideOnline year we are following. Necessity had me buy the second volume of the AmblesideOnline poetry anthology, and love - for these ladies, for this curriculum, for the succinct biographical sketches all combined with the poems selected - had me buy the third. It was lovely.

My third grader and I read this together over the course of the year. Neither of us cared much for Hilda Conkling’s style but it was good to broaden our exposure to different kinds of poetry.
