Happy National Poetry Month!
We are celebrating National Poetry Month with a weekly poetry challenge all month long. To follow along, subscribe to our newsletter or check back here every Monday and Friday throughout the month of April for updates.
Kickoff: Books and resources for National Poetry Month
Week one: Read and write haiku

Week two: Read and write odes

Week three: Read and write riddle poems
Week four: Poet's choice!
If you and/or your children/students participate in any of our challenges this month, we'd love to hear from you. You can email us or tag us on Instagram (use the hashtag #RDDPoetryChallenge or #RDDPoetryMonth). We will be sharing some readers’ poems in a round-up post at the end of the month, so if you’d like your poems to be considered, please let us know when you send them. Be sure to send them by Sunday, April 27 if you want them to be considered for the round-up.
