   • Motivates children to read. Some parents may have emergent readers who are struggling to find the motivation to pick up a book and hone their skills. If this is the case, try poetry.
   • Teaches young readers about sound. Reading poetry helps children about voice, pitch, volume, and inflection. While these are mainly functions of speech, they’re also incredibly important for children learning to read.
   • Builds vocabulary. Like any form of reading, poetry can introduce children to new words. Poetry is unique in that it typically follows a rhythm. When children read sentences and phrases that have a cadence, it introduces them to new words in new contexts.
   • Encourages creativity. Pablo Picasso once said, “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” Children have wonderful, active imaginations.
