Fun = Poems for Two or More Voices

Are you looking for literacy-based recreational activities for 8- to 14-year-olds? If your kids love to perform for family and friends, they'll have fun with these children's books of poems for two or more voices. Performing the poems is a great way for children to learn to enjoy the spoken word and to gain fluency in reading aloud. The children's poetry books I recommend are You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Stories to Read Together, A Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices, I Am Phoenix: Poems for Two Voices, and Big Talk: Poems for Four Voices.
