Poetry

As mentioned on the home page, at this point the materials on this site are for young learners. This is not designed for learning poetic devices etc, but merely to assist in Language Acquisition.

Types of Poetry for Language Acquisition

In poetry for young children, both the rhythm of the speech and the rhyming of the words assist in language learning (for children learning their first language, as well as second language).

At this level, "poetry" includes:
  • Nursery Rhymes
  • Action Songs - includes musical rhymes for skipping or dancing
  • Chants and Raps - easy to create your own, great for language acquisition
  • Finger Plays - commonly used for play with a baby, but also taught to young children
  • Funny Poems
