"Poems to Learn to Read By" is two books in one. It is a collection of poems that children from birth to school age can enjoy with adults. And it is also a valuable guide for caregivers, early childhood educators, and parents. The authors offer information and ideas on how to use the poems to strengthen children's language, build their literacy skills, help them manage strong emotions, and enhance their relationships.
