Celebrate World Poetry Day with poetry for children.
- Shel Silvestein is one of my favourite poets. He has written hundreds of wonderful poems for children that we read in class from time to time. The kids love him and so do I.
- Here is a link to Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout which is always a huge success!
- If you choose to use Shel Silverstein for poetry day, why don't you pay a visit to the official poet's site. There are many free printable activities for you to print and use in class.

- Roald Dahl also wrote a series of poems for children. I really like the way he retells classic stories for children. Have a look at the following video.
