Making Poetry Fun For Kids
I guess I didn’t need poetry made fun for me as I fell in love with AA Milne and Dr. Seuss at an early age and it was all downhill from there. But, there’s an author, Karen Jo Shapiro, who was on NPR this morning and her books sound really fun.
So, she uses classic poems and rewrites them in the same manner (rhythm, etc) but makes them more kid accessible. It’s fun.
Since it’s still, barely, poetry month, thought this would be a cool thing to share.
