One of the specifics of the Czech drama in education is the level of attention it pays to poetry reciting. Despite this fact, the Czech educational system does not include this discipline into the national curriculum. It is only the Basic Schools of Arts and interest groups that train children in poetry reciting on a more systematic basis. Yet poetry reciting might be a significant enrichment to the teaching of literature. G. Zelená Sittová, who dealt with this topic in her dissertation presented last year at the Faculty of Theatre in Prague, discusses the importance of reciting in the lives of children and youth as well as the methodology of working with young reciters on a step-by-step basis, from choosing a suitable text all the way to reciting it loud in front of an audience.
