๐ Topic Summary
Listening to poems is a wonderful way for Grade 1 students to explore English Language Arts! When we listen to poems, we don't just hear words; we also notice the special sounds they make. Poems often have a rhythm, like a song or a gentle beat, and words that rhyme, which means they sound alike at the end.
