The study presents the progress and partial results of the longitudinal research phase of a project in which eight experimental classes participating in the teaching of poetry based on experiential learning and creativity of pupils were observed. The focus is on the results of the selected class of pupils at a primary school in the age group of 12-13 years, particularly 18 girls and 13 boys. Some of the methods used in the work with poetic texts were introduced focusing primarily on poetry perception by teachers and pupils. The results show that the experimental teaching activity appears to be particularly beneficial for the pupils with worse study results who had not initially had a positive relationship to poetry.
