    Hi Kelly,

    Thank you for the question. 

    A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language. 

    W. H. Auden

    Exposing kids to poetry is a great idea which shows them the beauty of language.

    Here are a few choices you may think of.

    Poetry collections are mostly not specifically designed for one certain grade, so reading with them and help them understand the poems may be a good idea.
