With the right exposure, children from ages two to seventeen can learn to appreciate the poetry of A. A. Milne, as well as enjoy Longfellow and Shakespeare. Not only do children start to understand literary concepts, like imagery and rhyme, they also expand their minds with a rich vocabulary and learn the complexity of emotions. Thousands of families around the world are already enjoying the magic that comes from sharing poetry. Gathering around the table, sharing glances while sipping on tea, and pondering the poetry that is being read or recited. Laughter, discussion, and smells fill the air as participants share their thoughts on a passage. This scene can be yours.Don’t put off poetry until your children are older. Now is the time to heat up the water and pull out your tea. Establish a love for poetry now. Don’t deprive your children of this mind changing experience. It’s especially great for those who may be reluctant to listen to books. It’s time to read poetry and watch the wheels turn in the little heads that you’re reading to.
