Childhood is full of fun and
filled with notable experience for kids as well as the parents. Kids are curious,
imaginative and inquisitive…so excited and eager to learn new things, about their
surroundings. They try to communicate by
moving hands, nodding head, paddling legs, shaking hands in different
direction, tottering whole body and many other things they do, which makes feel
something different for parents.
As and when kids grow, parents
should share the stories and poems with them. This is an excellent way to help them develop
language and early childhood literacy skills. Stories, poems and rhymes can be
used to promote the understanding and positive attitude about the natural
world. Many of the kids have heard about “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and many
kids think of shining stars in the sky. This offers more accurate information
of nature or say about the stars and sky.
For Example, one rhyme we used
to chant in pre-schools:
I can See Right,
I can see Left,
Hello to You,
I look at Ground,
I look at sky.
Fly – off little bird.
Good Bye. Good Bye.
Some of the benefits kids are likely to gain from above poem that includes the development of language, what is right? What is left? Looking Up...Down…etc; A deeper understanding of Sight Words pertaining to International Curriculum for kindergarten. Poetry is more effective than other forms of developing linguistic skills in kids. It has an enthralling and phenomenal way of introducing new ways of seeing the things around kids. Picture books are also written as poems and can be used to nurture poetic thinking in kids. (You can have a look of such Picture Book designed by PopKorn Kids also.)
