The Absolute Best Short Poems for Kids
The single best way to forge an unbreakable bond with your kids: read to them.
These short poems for kids gives you a chance as a parent, grandparent, godparent, teacher, aunt or uncle to connect with your child on a deeper level, and offer a specific, quick- but impactful- lesson that your child will hold near and dear to their heart forever.
Some of the poems are funny while others teach a valuable lesson. The best part? Your preschooler, elementary aged and even high schooler will enjoy them. And adults too!
According to Read Aloud, reading to children “promotes emerging literacy and language development and supports the relationship between child and parent.”
Taking time out of your busy day to read to your children- even for just a minute or two- shows your commitment and desire to connect with them.
There are 61 poems here, but don’t feel the need to go through all of these at once! Bookmark this page and read these poems incrementally over time.
If your child is reading on their own, encourage him/her to share and read their favorites to you. Happy reading to you and your little (or big) one!
