I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

Using fun (and sometimes funny) lyrics and entertaining stories help engage children and keep them giggling while they develop their oral language and early literacy skills. Dancing or specific movements that correlate with the lyrics of a rhyming song can also enhance learning and retention. Look how much fun these kids are having!

In addition to nursery rhymes and rhyming songs, poetry for young children also provides a wonderful opportunity to introduce another text genre and foster fluency. Using poetry in a shared reading activity is also a great way to stimulate peer interaction and develop oral language skills too.

Using poetry in favorite content areas, like animals, is a great way of engaging young readers (just think of all of the animals in poems by Ogden Nash and Dr. Seuss). The Zebra Poem - Run, Zebra, Run! - from the Zoozoo Into The Wild Series pairs simple facts about zebras while enriching vocabularly and making it memorable with an active storyline and rhyme scheme. Notice how the poem below not only spells out the word "zebra," but also has the same ending to each rhyming sentence.
