2.) HOW SHOULD YOU CHOOSE POETRY?

BY: HEMALATHA A/P DEVARAJOO

Start by familiarizing yourself with the types of poetry popular with children. Sit down with your child and read rhyming picture books. Choose a few poems that kids can respond to in a variety of ways. The repertoire of poetry the children experience should be of the highest quality.

3.) HOW DO YOU USE POEM WITH CHILDREN?

BY: HEMALATHA DEVARAJOO

READING ALOUD
Reading poetry aloud is THE essential component in working with children. They learn through listening long before they master the complex process of reading and can take in hundreds of poems (Sylvia Vardell)

SINGING ALOUD & DANCING


Kids love words, rhyme, rhythm and beat.

They sing, they listen and they repeat.

IF YOU WERE ONE INCH TALL


If you were only one inch tall, you'd ride a worm to school. The teardrop of a crying ant would be your swimming pool. A crumb of cake would be a feast And last you seven days at least, A flea would be a frightening beast If you were one inch tall.

If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door, And it would take about a month to get down to the store. A bit of fluff would be your bed, You'd swing upon a spider's thread, And wear a thimble on your head If you were one inch tall.

PUPPETS
Performance Interesting and children will have fun

To understand what the poem expresses To develop vocabulary, master new words, expressions, terminology, sayings, new language usage To develop high level critical thinking skills: to compare and contrast the new poem with other poems already known, to reach conclusions, to form opinions and judgments, to evaluate the poem read
