Activity: Poetry Sounds

Reading and writing poetry allows learners to think about and practice the sounds of the English language.

Word magnet sets are often sold in educational toy stores or you can make your own and use words that are meaningful to the learners. By combining different words and phrases, poetry can be created on the refrigerator!

Some of the readings in Section 9 are poems written by adult learners:

"I Love Myself" "My God"
"My Sister Will Sing" "Love Is"
"Someday" "Dreams"
