5 Resources to Celebrate Poetry for Kids!

In my best attempt to be a Proverbs 31 woman, I’ve discovered my wisdom, strength and dignity comes in words of whimsy. And Poetry. My linen garments happen to be words. Below, I’ll share a DEAL, valued at $21, on a fabulous new way to learn poetry for kids, and other poetry resources!

[Tweet “Did you know Verses 10-31 of Proverbs 31, The Wife of Noble Character, are actually an acrostic poem in the Hebrew alphabet?]

How cool! 

Here are my top 5 resources for sharing a love and joy in poetry for kids!

1. Rhyme Brain. Period.  You type in a word  for which you want to find a rhyme and PRESTO! LOADS of words! Use it with them, and it’s a fabulous vocab lesson to boot! It looks like this:

2. Poetry For Kids.  The website of children’s poet laureate, Kenn Nesbitt. He calls it a funny playground for poetry. You’ll find humor, games, contests, lessons, activities, journals, and more!

3. Prime Rhyme free App As an avid iphone fan , so it’s awesome to type in a word on the go and find just what you need! This one even goes a step further and gives you a definition. Excited to give this one a whirl on my new iphone 6! Here’s a screenshot:
