LISTENING TO POEMS

READING POEMS ALOUD


Pupils need to read poems aloud because it helps them to appreciate each poems meaning, atmosphere and rhythm; and in the case of their own poems, to think of changes which might improve them.

Individuals, pairs or groups can read the parts of different characters, or read individual lines, groups of lines and stanzas.
The way in which a poem is spoken can make a valuable contribution to the childrens understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of it. Teachers can experiment with different methods, depending on the poem.

MEMORISING POEMS
when pupils memorise poems, they increase their vocabulary and develop the skill of using it expressively; they build up a rich store of creative ways in which words can be used, and they begin to use them themselves. to help pupils memorise a poem, read it aloud to them, then repeat it, encourage them to join in. display an enlarged copy of the poem, or work with a small group of pupils who each have their own copy to follow. read a line, then cover it and ask the pupils to repeat it, building up the number of lines covered, until the pupils can recite the entire poem. 5
