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 rhyming aspect is the first one to consider. This is actual matching of words with similar sounds at the end of every line. It brings out the musical aspect which they can hum to whenever they are either reading or listening to. Besides, this is the best, integral part to use for pronunciation whenever they go through the entire poem. They will be able to distinguish various sounds for each word.

Tip number two is based on age groups. Kids are of various ages; babies, preschoolers, young readers and upper elementary. A poem for babies cannot be the same for young readers. The difference comes with the choice of words. It is important for the writer to choose the target group very well. Under this view, it is about writing or narration in general terms or basing on Christian values.

Tip number three comes in handy on the basis of a topic selection. This is the summary of the entire writing and it is the determiner of the difference worth noting. It will determine the angle taken and whether the kids will be attracted to reading or listening to whatever has been written. Usually, one needs to choose a title that evokes the feelings of any child by telling the story in poetic form.

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.

All in all, tones and emotions are very essential under this piece of writing. One has to clearly denote aspects of happiness, sadness, encouragement, mystery or even anger. This is the inner voice of the poet. Since kids have feelings, a successful writer needs to include this for them to be able to feel and distinguish them clearly.

With all these in place, poets are able to come up with quality childrens poems for beneficial language progress and better word pronunciation techniques in kids. At this tender age, it becomes easier for them to continue developing with the passage of time. It is the best technique for use.
