A collection of poems that children from birth to school age will enjoy reading with adults

Poems to Learn to Read By: Building Literacy with Love is a collection of poems that children from birth to school age will enjoy reading with adults, and it is also a useful resource for instilling a love of reading in young children. Each poem has a brief text follow-up about the verse's origins, or ideas for helping children sound out difficult words, tips on helping the very young adapt to new challenges, and more. Valuable as both a literacy and parenting resource, Poems to Learn to Read By is highly recommended especially for bedtime or naptime reading. For example, the following poem teaches young children about the letter Y as well as about sharing toys. "My Favorite Toy": I have a yellow yo-yo / And I can make it go / Down and up and round the world. / Yes, either fast or slow. // Would you like to use my yo-yo? / You can try to make it sleep. / The yo-yo is yours to use today, / But it is mine to keep.
