\"Poems<\/p>\n

Poems can be challenging even for older pupils. With younger children or children with reading difficulties, the teacher must proceed in such a way that the children can understand the content, i.e. use other strategies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Poems are full of metaphors and symbolic language that children must first learn to identify. Step by step, you have to guide the pupils through the poem and relate the content to life in order to visualise it.<\/p>\n

A basic way to learn a poem is to understand the rhythm of the language. The rhythm of the language and the rhyme scheme help children to remember what they have read. The rhyme scheme is often the easiest for children, so they quickly get a sense of achievement. A sense of achievement is important for motivation and self-confidence.
The children can count the lines of the poem and divide them into verses. For certain forms of poetry such as haiku, sonnets or limericks, start by identifying the typical elements of these poems.<\/p>\n

Once the pupil has understood the basic form and composition of the poem, the next step is to start recognising the figurative language elements. The teacher can make metaphors, symbols and comparisons clear by asking suggestive questions. By discussing the figurative language elements, the children are led deeper into the content of the poem.<\/p>\n

\n

For younger children or those with reading difficulties, read the poem to them first. This allows them to hear how it should sound. During the second reading, the children can be brought closer to the content by asking questions. Once the children have got used to the sound and content of the poem, they can try to read it aloud themselves. Partner work is often useful here: one child reads aloud, the other child can comment or ask questions.<\/p>\n

Children will only learn something if they show interest. It can therefore be useful to interpret and learn poems from songs that they listen to every day. This makes the subject matter less dry and perhaps even encourages them to join in. The children are also welcome to make their own suggestions as to which songs they would like to learn in poem form, as long as they are linguistically appropriate for their age.
Such exercises also give children who are not so good at reading practice in interpreting and analysing poems, even if it is practically just their favourite music.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
