In his book on Shakespare, Michael Wood observed that rote learning systems offer “many rewards, not least a sense of poetry, rhythm and refinement–a heightened feeling for language.”

Of course, a major benefit of rote poetry learning systems is the development and enrichment of language skills and appreciation. Good grammar and vocabulary are skills whose importance only becomes more profound as a student advances into middle and high school. They are especially critical for inner-city kids, who often come from homes where books are scarce and the level of literacy low.

The “heightened feeling for language” that rote poetry learning systems provide helps students not only to appreciate literature, but to succeed throughout their academic and professional careers.
