Developing Literacy Through Poetry and
Folklore
by
Alma Flor Ada
This anthology offers 365 poems, one for each day of the
year, from the best writers of poetry in Spanish for children. The poems have
been chosen to reflect selected themes that correspond to the seasons of the
year and to holidays of the Hispanic world.
There are several components that compliment this
anthology: sets of classroom posters, small anthologies which reproduce the
classroom posters, and a set of cassettes :
·
Caballito blanco
·
Cinco pollitos
·
El cuento del gato
Small anthologies of poems extracted from Días y días de poesía with full color illustrations.

2 y 3 horas de poesía con Alma Flor Ada (set of 6 cassettes) : On
these cassettes, Alma Flor Ada shares over 100 poems to promote cultural pride,
self-esteem, and… a whole lot of learning!
The tapes are divided in twelve 15
minute sessions, which present to children concepts about their language,
history and culture, invite them to meet poets from around the Spanish-speaking
world and encourage them to write their own poems.
