Learning poems exposes children to a new language – POETIC LANGUAGE.
This language is powerful and it utilizes words and expressions to provoke mental images or feelings.
Introduction to poetry composed by the world's great poets aids in teaching children how words can be manipulated to create sentences, verses, stories and mental images.
Poetry helps to define the culture of a people.
Teaching children to memorize poems over time is a useful study strategy which increases mental calisthenics.
Children are able to learn and master presentation skills.
When a child learns to do something difficult, they earn a great sense of accomplishment.
