Explanation

The primary aim of teaching poetry at the school level is to cultivate enjoyment, aesthetic appreciation, and a love for literary language. Poetry's rhythm, imagery, emotion, and beauty engage learners and develop sensitivity to language. While vocabulary and grammar may incidentally improve through poetry, these are secondary outcomes. The goal is not to turn every learner into a poet (option 4) but to foster appreciation of the art form. NCERT and language pedagogy literature consistently emphasize enjoyment and appreciation as the central aim.
