“If taught effectively in the early years, the study of poetry can help lay the groundwork for a lifetime of meaningful, intellectual inquiry.” 

Sue Cronmiller, Poet-Teacher

poetryXchange is a comprehensive series of over 100 original poetry lessons crafted and time tested in the K-12 classrooms of Santa Ana, California. These lessons are geared for ESL and support social and emotional development as well as English Language Arts and Ethnic Studies. It is also the name of the non-profit I founded in 2003 poetryXchange.org.
