Description

A handy companion for teachers seeking lively classroom exercises, this collection gathers short, memorable recitations that balance clear diction with sensible, moral content. Each piece has been tried and approved in real school settings, so educators can trust that the selections are both age‑appropriate and easy to teach. The book emphasizes brevity and simplicity, allowing even the busiest teachers to fit a polished performance into a regular lesson.

The anthology draws from a wide range of classic poets and writers, offering familiar verses as well as lesser‑known gems that are rarely found elsewhere. It also includes special selections for birthdays, holidays and other school celebrations, giving teachers ready‑made material for those moments. With guidance on emphasis and articulation, the volume makes it simple to bring confidence and enjoyment to every student’s speaking practice.

About the author

CB

Caroline B. (Caroline Bigelow) Le Row

b. 1843

Best remembered for the delightfully odd classroom collection English as She Is Taught, this 19th-century American writer also spent decades working as a teacher. Her books blend schoolroom humor, reading instruction, and elocution in a way that still feels lively and curious.
