The introduction frames a double purpose: presenting poems written for children between 1958 and 1975 and explaining the process of introducing poetry to them. Shared elements of the poems include rhythm, word sounds, rhyme, humor, and playful forms such as song lyrics, jump rope jingles, and tongue twisters.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/","Story

        \n\nThe double purpose of this introduction is tobring together poems I wrote for children be-tween 1958 and 1975 and to discuss the process ofintroducing poetry to children.  \nIn addition to their common place of origin andspan of time,these verses share basic elements ofsimple poetry:emphasis on rhythm,word soundsand,sometimes,rhyme and humor.  \nRhyme isn't nearly as fashionable as it oncewas,but there's a lot of it here.Children enjoyreading it,reciting it and hearing it read.Theswing and syllables of rhyming stick in the mindand stay on the tongue,often for a lifetime.Manyof the enclosed are members of a happy familythat includes song lyrics,jump rope jingles,tongue twisters and so on.One answer to \"Howdo you introduce children to poetry?\"is to beginwith these relaxed,funny,rhythmical forms.Letthe children you know get to feel at home withthe family.  \nOne introduction leads to another.The poetryreader often becomes a poetry writer.What couldbe better?No imagination is freer than a child's,no eye is sharper.The conversation of young chil-dren is a constant reminder that they are naturalpoets.But fitting unrestrained thoughts into rigidforms can be discouraging and may cramp theeccentric voice that makes a child's work(anywork)unique.Read rhymes to children,but en-courage them,as they begin to write,to writewithout rhyming.To write any way at all.Andto read everything,anything...more poetry.","cbCaitvQjZoyfVQN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitvQjZoyfVQN","pdf",2981842,102,"English","# DOGS &DRAGONSTREES &DREAMS\n## A Collection of Poems by
