Bring poetry alive in the classroom with Poetry Out Loud! Poetry Out Loud gives high school students the opportunity to build self-confidence, strengthen analytical skills, and develop an appreciation for poetry through recitation. Students can advance through local and state competitions as part of this annual program for the chance to compete at the national finals in Washington, D.C., with travel provided. Getting involved is easy. Schools, school systems, and nonprofit organizations can organize local competitions, with free materials and lesson plans available to help educators integrate the program into their existing curriculum.
