March is National Poetry Month. The rhythm and rhyme of poetry is a fun way to improve language skills and learn new vocabulary. Starting early with nursery rhymes will help children become better readers and learn to love reading.
Here are some great new finds and some old favorites to pick up on your next library visit:
Poetry for Kids: William Shakespeare
Lemonade, and Other Poems Squeezed From A Single Word
Poetry for Kids: Emily Dickinson
