A New Box of Crayons

A New Box of Crayons offers the basis of an effective, affective language arts curriculum. One poem presented daily will do more to create clear, powerful writing than hours of lectures and textbook presentations. This happens because the poems sing songs of truth, immediately understood by students of all ages. Precision in thought and speech are not, by nature, given. To really see and say things as they are takes courage, practice, and daily revision.
