It introduces them to the world of literature and helps them learn new words and concepts. For some children, it is difficult to sit through an entire book. This is why poetry is great for kids with shorter attention spans. You can teach your little ones to love poetry by making it enjoyable <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">educational. Here are three easy ways to incorporate poetry into your tot\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Show your preschool child the classics.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lay the foundation with the traditional Mother Goose nursery rhymes including Simple Simon, Old Mother Hubbard, Peter Piper, and Jack Sprat.\u00a0Repeat them to your child and before you know it, he or she will be able to recite these old standbys for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Use numbers.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incorporate numbers and counting with rhymes such as Five Fat Peas, One Potato, Two Potato, and One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. You can also try mixing poetry and play with children\u2019s rhyming games such as Ring Around the Rosy and Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Start reading poetry with your preschooler!<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bachelorsdegree.org\/2010\/11\/11\/50-best-poetry-books-for-kids\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on classic poems and popular books to familiarize yourself with poetry and even get ideas on how to write your own! <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Light in the Attic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Where the Sidewalk Ends<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are two wonderful poetry books written by Shel Silverstein. Additionally, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One Fish, Two Fish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Green Eggs and Ham<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Cat in the Hat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are three classic poems written by Dr. Seuss, who is famous worldwide for his children\u2019s literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reading, memorizing, and reciting poetry empowers children and builds confidence as they move forward. Remember to explain words you read that are unfamiliar to your child and discuss what the poems you read are about and how they make your child feel.
