By Carmella Watts


Language maturity is an important aspect towards the development of children as they grow. This involves helping them in better pronunciation of words. In order to achieve this, various methods are used. A good example and the main one for discussion for this article are childrens poems. These ones are poetic words written in a rhyme format. They can be audio for them to listen to or written for reading.

When writing these poems, one has to be in a position to understand the needs for kids of various age groups. This is because; he or she is dealing with young ones in mind who need active participation in anything that excites them as a way of development. In this case, there are a number of tips which have been recommended for the poets to consider when coming up with such pieces of writing.

The choice of words with a rhyming perspective is the first one. Words that rhyme bring out the musical aspect of an entire poem for the kids to read and listen to. This helps to clarify distinctions between certain words when it comes to pronunciation. It becomes easy for them to capture each and every word in the right manner.

The poet should consider the age groups from the wider aspect of kids. There are those who are still at home and those going to school. These two cannot use the same poetic materials due to slight difference in age. He or she needs to select a target when coming up with any of this literature. A clear basis for this has its foundation on religious views and general aspects.

Selection of the right heading for the poem is integral in this writing. This is merely what the reader will get once reading through the entire text. It is the determiner to what extend kids will read through or listen to the narrations. Something appealing to them is what they need and this has to start with the topic chosen.

Another basis for writing these scripts is that of using pronouns. These ones clearly point at the angle on whether to involve the reader or not. For example, the use of first persona gives the kids a clear involvement in the entire script thus; they feel as the main actors. For the aspect of portraying animals, the third persona is suitable for use.

Apart from pronouns, these kids can feel part of this through attitudes and feelings used by the writer. This piece of writing can be one that portrays joy, sorrow, support, anonymity and also rage. At this point, it is better for the writer to avoid some that will have a bad influence on them especially that of grief and rage.

All these tips count a lot in drafting childrens poems. The benefit exhibited is that of growth and maturity when it comes to uttering the words correctly. With an early enhancer, they grow up knowing the right pronunciations and this process continues as they grow. This makes these poems be vital for use.
