It's here! The 2026 Learning Resource
“… because honestly, these kids are way cooler than Shakespeare.”
~ Zafty, 2025 Poetry Month Youth Ambassador
This Poetry Month, we’ve put together a Learning Resource that hopes to keep you company in the classroom. Whether you want to rework these as lesson plans, dip into them during book week, or print pages to pin on your bulletin boards — they’re all yours.
This Learning Resource aims to make poetry feel participatory for all your students, across a range of experience and enthusiasm levels. Thank you for incorporating poetry into your classrooms.
If you have any feedback (including poems) from you or your students, we’d love to hear from you at education@redroompoetry.org
PS. Subscribe to our education newsletter, The Education Edit, to receive bonus content throughout Poetry Month!
