EP223: Sharing poetry with children captivates their imaginations, builds connections and empathy, and fosters language development necessary for literacy. In honor of National Poetry Month and Poem in Your Pocket Day, I bring you this episode all about the lively art of poetry.
Listen in for ideas about collecting poetry, writing found poems, sharing seasonal poetry with your children, using poetry related to your current topic of study or main lesson block, and studying individual poets.
Sharing poetry with children is an inspiring way to weave the lively arts into your homeschooling, and so simple, too! Hope you enjoy this episode of the Art of Homeschooling podcast!
