Poetry in the Junior School

Phillips, Terry

English In Education, 5, 3, 51-62, W 71

Author explains that children feel the meaning of some poems in relation to their own experiences, rather than having a direct understanding of the situations presented in the poems, and that by reaching an understanding of these experiences, children become able to interpret the poems on a more mature level.
