It perfectly serves as an educational complement .As we already know,

helps to increase vocabulary, to boost memory, concentration and oral expression. It is entertaining, fun and its rhythm and musicality are essential for children to be attracted to it. It favors the reading comprehension, for that reason it is so important that they know the poetry since they are pequeñitos. We tell you how you can help them to dare to write poetry. Why teaching children to write poetry

Encouraging children to write poetry, both at school and in the family,

will make them more creative . Almost all of us have started learning with nursery rhymes.Although rhyme is not mandatory in a poem,

is more fun for children who have the same sound at the end of the verses . We can read poems out loud so that they become familiar with the genre and know outstanding poets, as is the case of Gloria Fuertes, a Spanish poet famous for her children's poems and whose centenary is celebrated next year.The poems for young children have to have an easy rhyme, with a lexicon and a structure that does not pose any difficulty for them at the time of reading.

We can also use poetry

to convey basic values ​​and explain to children the meaning of words that speak of feelings and emotions. Tr 7 tricks to teach children to write children's poetry1. We can

start with short, attractive and simple poems

and change some verse, transform poetry through a known poem. It's about playing with the verses so that children enjoy inventing. 2. With the tongue twisters, the riddles and the songs

, we will keep your attention, in addition, sure will remain in your memory forever. 3.Sing, dance, clap with known or invented poems ¿, who does not remember any poem from his childhood?

4. We can create a poetry by giving three words at random,for example, and with them invent a poem that makes sense.

5. Finding synonyms and antonyms or words that rhyme with one another can also be a lot of fun. 6.

From a well-known story we can make a poetry . I leave an example with the story of Little Red Riding Hood: Poetry of Little Red Riding Hood

'To grandma's house you must bring a sponge cake',said the mother to the girl

no later than eight o'clock.

'Do not interfere with anyone

or talk to strangers,

go through the forest soon

and come when you have eaten'.

Little red riding hood in the forest

with the wolf she found,

ignoring her mother

of the sponge cake she offered him.

The wolf that was a rogue

the little one cheated,

and to grandma's house

before running came.

'I'm Little Red Riding Hood',

he said, changing his voice

The old woman opened the door

and the wolf ate it.

In the bed of the old woman

in disguise she got in,

and covered with the sheets

to Little Red Riding Hood spoke:

'Come closer little granddaughter',

he said with trembling voice

But something noticed the girl

and became very nervous.

'Oh! what bigger eyes you have, "Caperucita exclaimed." They are to see you better, "said the fake grandmother. 7. To write, it always gives good results to observe. Any detail, however small that may happen around us, can unleash our imagination and cause a new poetry to be born. My experience is that observing nature and animals is ideal for this purpose. I recommend always carrying a notebook and a pen to record the ideas that arise at that time and that we can later develop with peace of mind.

I invite you to finish the poem of Little Red Riding Hood with your children, sure you have a good time.

You can create extraordinary stories

, entertaining and fun, with the art of rhyme and get through them the interest of children to learn.

To finish I leave you a phrase of

León Daudí

, Spanish writer (1905-1985): 'Poets are men who have kept their eyes as a child'.
