Abstract :
Major focus of English classes in primary
school-level is to develop children’s interest in English
through reading and exercises they like. Fun is what the
children like the most. Games are fun; so are poems for
children. The English course for grade V used in the
schools in Itahari, Nepal is designed keeping the same
idea at heart. But the real practice in classroom was not
found so. Thus, this research was conducted to explore
the existing relation between the principles of teaching
poems and the real situation in the classrooms; and to
suggest how this situation can be improved. Based on
the data collected through questionnaire, class
observation, distribution of poems in different textbooks
of that class and international practices of using poem
in this level, this article concludes that teaching poems
in primary schools in Itahari needs improvements in a
large scale.
