Welcome to our Online Poetry Library
Below there will be regular updates of the Nursery staff reading their favourite poems. Share and enjoy these with your child. Children often find poetry difficult to understand therefore, it is key that we expose them to it as often as possible. Use the questions posted below to discuss what the poems tell us. This will help to support your child's understanding and comprehension skills as they are a great tool to use to develop rhythm, rhyme and humour!
