Close Do you enjoy poetry but your grandchildren, children, younger siblings or nieces and nephews don't? Here are five ways to help children like poetry. Read them poetry that both of you will like (hint: Homer is not a good idea). Doing this is a way to keep you from being bored and the child from being bored. If you don't like mother goose rhymes, don't read them. There are many good childrens books, that may peak your interest and theirs. Authors like A. A. Milne, Bruce Lansky, and Shel Silverstein are good places to start. Just read things you enjoy. As a general rule if you don't enjoy it, they won't, because they see no enthusiasm coming from you. Not to say, that they will always like what you like, but you do need to enjoy what you teach. Play rhyming games with them.

Extractions: There are several aspects of the language arts that should be addressed before a student graduates from high school. These include, the importance of words, the breakdown of syllables and meter and sound elements such as iambs and trochees etc, the structure and musicality of poetry, the structure and musicality of prose, creative writing, fiction verses non-fiction, and breaking down and understanding literature. Morphing creative writing into your language arts lesson ideas: One teacher told me that she uses language arts lesson ideas to teach her fourth grade class. If you start out a group this young, try to maintain open-ended topics in your language arts lesson ideas. Offer ideas for them to work with drawing from their own life experiences. First use some kind of pre-writing activity (a brainstorm, if you will, so they can get their ideas together). After that, the students will write a first draft. The first draft is edited by the teacher, but the next time you write, have the students edit their peers work. A guide sheet for editing and making constructive criticism would be helpful.
