Add this Kenn Nesbitt poetry site to your resource of kid-friendly poetry. This site is a treasure with podcasts, a rhyming dictionary, games, videos, tips and lessons for kid to write poetry.

Ask your students to choose a favorite poem from this site and use it as a model for their own poem. Have them pay attention to the rhythm and rhyme of the poem they like. Create a class book of poems using Book Creator, reviewed here.

tag(s): digital reading (18), folktales (34)

In the Classroom

Use this site as a learning center or station during a unit on folk tales and short stories. This would be a great way to encourage ELLs and lower-achieving readers to become interested in reading. Have students watch the stories on classroom computers, creating a timeline of the story and establishing the chain of events. This is a great way to get students thinking about timelines and to help those who are aided by the site's visual elements. Make sure to include headphones so that students won't disturb others.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.
