Abstract: | Revolving around an interview with the contemporary children’s poet Michael Rosen, this article examines some of the potential effects of teachers’ attitudes toward poetry. The interview explores Rosen’s views on teachers’ attitudes toward poetry and the implications of such attitudes on students’ engagement with poetry. This article argues that teachers need to act as role models by positioning themselves as readers of poetry in order for students to perceive such reading as an enjoyable activity. |
