Description
When children listen to and recite poetry, rhymes, and songs from a very young age, they begin to develop and build many literacy skills. They hear the sound of language and the rhythm of words, which will assist them in learning to read and write. Most importantly, the rhythm and rhyme help them develop a love of language.
Humorous poems to 'hook children in' poems where words ask to be shouted, short snappy poems, repetitive poems- a whole variety of poems is needed to help children catch the rhythm of languages and the power of words....
