One of the easiest ways to learn oral words is by hearing similar sounding words just like the ones found in rhyming sounds. It helps make the connection to the written word easier to remember when the sound associations connect well to the printed words. Poems can make reading more fun and may work well when other methods like phonics fails. But don’t leave phonics out. It can work well for most students, and then again, don’t let a student or child fail because you are fixated on phonics alone. All children can learn and here is one more way, a fun way. Make it more fun with parent involvement. Use it at bed time to make the event more meaningful or set a time each day to connect with your child. Don’t forget to record these poems. Children enjoy hearing your voice and it will help them with their reading skills. So, take a few minutes and download these poems. Your child will enjoy listening to them because they come from you.
