Anyone have the IEW poetry program? Thoughts?
Or am I better off just coming up with my own program? I am looking for an introduction for a kindergartner

I LOVE this program, but my dc that participate are 7, 9, and 12. My 5 year old has picked up some, but the poems quickly become more than he can handle. He's a young K, but I would still say the prgram is geared toward older kids.
fwiw
They learn the poems fairly quickly following IEW's guidelines. My favorite part, though, is that it is a shared experience. They presented a round-robin recitation of the Jabberwocky for my mom. They even pulled in dc 5 and 3 to say "caloo calay!"
It is NOT mom intensive and can be done completely without mom if needed (or desired  ).
I also love that my kids are learning intonation, articulation and correct pronunciation from Pudewa.

The best part about the program are the cds. We memorized poetry for years but never memorized as many without the cds.
