Rainbows Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Is there an age appropriate book of poems that would work? Any other ideas? I did a board search and it seems like most people do bible verses, but Id prefer to find something that isn't religious thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Check out IEW's "Language Aquisition Through Poetry Memorization" by Andrew Pudewa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineMom Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Someone on this board posted a list of funny poems for children. We have just loved learning them. After my children have memorized a poem, I have them write it out and make a craft project out of it. Kids can memorize so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vita Passiva Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I took the poems from "What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know." I typed them all out, a poem per page. We read one poem a week and ds makes a picture to go along with it. I have limited resources and my library happened to have that book for ideas.

Haiku Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 We use A Family of Poems by Caroline Kennedy for my K and 1st grade kiddos. They love it, and so do I. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's more than just poems, and includes a few religious verses, but check out Hannah's Grammar Stage Memorization. Tons of stuff to memorize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Rain Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It's more than just poems, and includes a few religious verses, but check out Hannah's Grammar Stage Memorization. Tons of stuff to memorize. What a neat find! She lists most of the poems my dd learned as a 5yo: Cat of Cats, Singing Time, Early to Rise, Fog, Purple Cow, etc. Nice collection. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
