This delightful, concise, activity-filled unit study on poetry will get you excited about studying poetry with your toddlers through teens, and even yourself! This little gem was written to put the tools in your hands to immediately be able to bring poetry to life for your children!
Is this you? I bet it is:
"Sometimes, it seems that we almost completely
forget to emphasize poetry as a tool for word study, grammar,
vocabulary, spelling, or just good listening and smiles for all ages,
from toddler to adult. Toddlers just naturally love rhythm and rhyme,
and I don't think any of us outgrow that. So... I want to encourage
you... don't forget the poetry!" ( adapted from the introduction)Amy Ringger's new ebook unit study shows you in a nutshell
how and why to read, write, and study
this truly magical thing called poetry.Learn how poetry opens the door to improving your grammar and spelling skills.
Amy's poetry ebook is a concise, "hands on" unit study that -- accompanied by a trip to your local library -- gives you all you need to conduct an entertaining, educational and memorable study of poetry. It does NOT require a lot of preparation on your part to implement. You can read through it and map out your study plan in about an hour. Whether your children are preschoolers, in the elementary grades or are older students, you can adapt the materials in this unit study to fit
their current language and reading studies to a "T".

"Poems Every Child Should Know"Next, we've included this wonderful AUDIOBOOK EDITION of poetry readings from "Poems Every Child Should Know", compiled & annotated by Mary E. Burt, from THE WHAT-EVERY-CHILD-SHOULD-KNOW-LIBRARY, published by "Parents' Magazine" way back in 1904 -- over 185 poems that children have loved and enjoyed for generations.
So... what's so special about these particular poems? Well, here's how the editor puts it in her introduction:
"Is this another collection of stupid poems that children cannot use? Will they look hopelessly through this volume for poems that suit them?
Will they say despairingly, "This is too long," and "That is too hard," and "I don't like that because it is not interesting"?
Are there three or four pleasing poems and are all the rest put in to fill up the book? Nay, verily! The poems in this collection are those
that children love. With the exception of seven, they are short enough for children to commit to memory without wearying themselves or losing
interest in the poem."Listen to the over 185 classic poems in this collection read aloud by skilled readers...
read along in the ebook edition we've provided... and commit some of these gems to memory.
This is the perfect tool to make these poems come to life for you and your children!
