Reading poems can be a lot of fun for kids. With these children’s poetry books, children will gain a new appreciation for poetry and the spoken word.
Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices
The entertaining sounds of insects fill these poems by Paul Fleischman, making it a favorite with 12-15-year-olds. These poems were written to be read aloud by two readers.
Paul Fleischman received the John Newbery Medal for young people’s literature for the book in 1989. Other recognition included: Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book, ALA Notable Children’s Books list and so on.
Eric Beddo’s artwork, full page, detailed pencil pictures, are vivid and effective complements (补充)to the poetry, which brings insects to life when read aloud by two voices.
You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You: Very Short Stories to Read Together
Poet Mary Ann Hoberman is the author of the picture book, which includes the joyful pictures of Michael Emberley. The book contains very short story poems for two people to read aloud, in turn and together. Each of the 12 stories for 6-11-year-olds features rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, as well as humor and attention on the joys of reading.
The book is one of a series of story poems. All the books are designed to be read aloud by two people, as if, says Hoberman, it’s “a little play for two voices.”The two people can be an adult and a child or two children.
Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices
Poems for four voices are much more challenging to present than poems for two voices, but middle school students tend to enjoy the challenge. The three-story poems in it will appeal to middle schoolers. The author, Paul Fleischman, provides a clear description of how to use the book. The poems are color-coded to make them easier for the four readers to keep track of their parts.
I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two Voices
The fifteen poems for two voices in the book are all about birds. Ken Nutt’s soft pencil pictures complement the poems by Paul Fleischman. The words of each poem are in two columns, each to be read by one person, sometimes individually, sometimes together.
