{"title":"Children's, Teenage \u0026 Young Adult Poetry","description":"\u003cp\u003eReading to or with children is really important for their intellectual well-being. Children sometimes struggle with longer stories so introducing them to poems and nursery rhymes is a great way to encourage their love of reading early on. Poetry is also said to create pathways in children's brains that listening to other types of languages simply does not. With teens, poetry helps them process and express their conflicting emotions in a more controlled and creative way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, exposing them to poems and rhymes can help children develop three really critical pre-reading and communication skills—phonological awareness, rich vocabulary and background knowledge. Not only can poems and rhyming words help a child develop a good vocabulary, it can also help your child develop phonological awareness. Phonological awareness is the ability to consciously tune in to the sounds of spoken language, to understand them and to talk about them. For example, a three-year-old whose phonological awareness is developing might say something like: \"Hey, cat-bat: they sound the same!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBackground knowledge on the other hand is considered a strong predictor of how easily your child will learn to read and write. Several studies have confirmed that a child’s awareness and knowledge of their background will strongly impact their social and academic success. Teachers, speech-language therapists and linguists; unanimously agree that it is vital for babies and young children to hear the kind of language used in poems and rhymes. This is because the sometimes unusual words, repetitions and speech patterns contained in poems written for children help enrich your child's intellect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some poetry books that we think will move your child, stir something within them and whilst at it; also inculcate the love of poetry in their hearts. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/products\/9781788004466\"\u003eWhat Are Little Girls Made of?\u003c\/a\u003e If you are a parent raising a feminist little girl, then this poetry book by Award-winning author, Jeanne Willis is just what she needs.

It exists in the spaces between actors and audience and is as elusive and silvery as the paths that wind through dark woods of fairy tales.
