Poems & Pizza & Parent Bulletins

Thursday, April 30 is Poem in Your Pocket Day!

Please encourage your child to carry a poem in his/her pocket. 

They can find a poem or write a poem.

The Library website has poetry links:  http://halekulalibrary.weebly.com

Tips:

Find a short poem.

Read a few and let your child choose the poem he/she likes best.

Help your child practice reading the poem. 

Talk about...

            Are there any words you can't pronounce?

            Who is speaking in the poem?  How does that person feel? How can you show that with your voice?

            Are there parts of the poem that should be read loudly?  softly?  slowly?  quickly?

            Read the punctuation--how does an exclamation mark sound?  How does a question mark sound?
