Before you start memorizing a poem with children, an adult who will do this must first read it expressively himself. It is best if he knows this poem by heart.
If there are unfamiliar or incomprehensible words in the text, you need to explain them to the child. Then read the poem again, dividing it into small semantic passages.
After reading, you need to tell the child about the author. This approach to memorizing a poem accustoms the child to culture and facilitates the process of memorization itself.

He will smile and repeat with the adult the lines that he has already remembered, while forgetting about his bad mood. Read only short poems for children you need to be enthusiastic, showing your true interest. If you are tired or you don’t have time for this right now, it’s better to postpone your acquaintance with poetry for another time.

Most children are very fond of holidays, matinees in kindergarten. At these events, as a rule, a lot of children's poems are read and the children really like it when the teacher trusts them to read in front of all the guests. Some kids are embarrassed to speak in front of an adult audience, they forget lines from poetry, adults need to support them. You need to learn the poem with the baby in advance so that he has enough time to remember it. The very preparation for the holiday will be a great incentive for the child to learn poetry, especially if he has not done this before.

Children's poems for the smallest children. These simple little rhymes can be learned by heart in a short amount of time.
Next article:

Poems for newborns and young children for many centuries accompanied the care of the child. Write poems for newborns and the smallest and modern poets. In the article you will find folk and modern poems for bathing, dressing, feeding, waking up, putting to bed, playing with a child.

Poems for newborns and toddlers

For a long time, it has been customary to accompany all actions for caring for babies with songs, pestushkas, nursery rhymes, sayings, rhymes. The rhythm and rhyme of a rhyme or song, their words, a variety of intonations in the mother’s speech (exclamation, question, surprise, chagrin, joy, admiration, etc.) create very favorable conditions for the successful development of the child, give the baby a feeling of comfort, warmth, security, form the prerequisites for successful mastery of speech. Such poems and songs are very important and necessary for the intellectual development of a child of infancy or early age.

At what age should children start reading poetry?

Opinion 1. Now more and more often there is an opinion that a newborn should not be listened to children's poems from birth, but audio CDs with serious poems and literary works for his early development - "Eugene Onegin", etc., so that he fell in love with literature from the cradle.

Is it so? This is not true! A complex piece for adults in an audio recording simply tires the newborn and infant and causes his defensive reaction. It seems that he is listening, but in fact the baby simply “turns off” - this is how adults turn off in the evening in front of the TV, and this is very harmful to the health and development of the baby! Our task, on the contrary, is to draw the baby's attention to speech. And for this, he must see the face of his mother, hear her voice, listen to the words repeated in verses, to the rhythm of a living human word. And fall in love with poems that bring him new positive impressions! This is precisely the beginning of "literary" education from the cradle.

opinion 2. There is also an opposite opinion that newborns do not need poetry, since they “still do not understand anything, but as soon as they begin to understand, you can read poetry - from about a year”.

  • The kid perceives not words, namely rhythm, rhyme and intonation, mother's voice.
  • Then, from his mother's speech, he begins to single out individual sounds - vowels, which mother specially pronounces in verses and songs in a drawling, exaggerated way.
  • Then the child begins to isolate individual frequently repeated words from speech, for example, his name.

What poems are suitable for the little ones?

  • Exactly simple verses with frequently repeated simple syllables and words most suitable for the first perception of the child and help the speech development of the baby. Without them, the development of speech is later delayed, the child speaks worse and begins to speak later. The result of reading such verses for newborns and the smallest is immediately invisible. But in a year you will see how much your baby is ahead of his peers, who did not have such verbal communication with their mother!
  • Now more attention is paid to ready-made audio recordings of children's poems on disks or on the Internet. But studies show conclusively that a baby at an early age needs, first of all, not technical progress, but his mother's voice, her warmth and affection, emotional contact with her. Even a tiny baby already distinguishes the mother's voice from the voices of other people and different sounds! And it is this voice that causes the maximum activity of the child - visual, auditory, motor.

How to remember the words of children's poems and nursery rhymes?

People often ask what to do if you can’t remember the words of poems or songs?
Firstly, you can also sentence yourself on your own, as it used to be. After all, these nursery rhymes and poems were not memorized by our ancestors, but were born as a “living word” here and now in communication with the baby. They necessarily mentioned the name of the baby.
Secondly, all the verses do not need to be memorized! You can choose from the proposed those verses that you like and like your baby. For young children, repeatability, recognizability of poetic lines from day to day is very important.
Thirdly, you can write the words of nursery rhymes and poems on a piece of paper with an adhesive strip (such stacks of stickers are sold at any stationery store) and attach to the wall. But: it is strictly forbidden to attach anything to the wall with pins or buttons! There are still serious injuries to children when this pin or button accidentally falls and gets into their hands! Safety is above all, and if it is observed, then communication with the baby will be joyful and will bring both you and the baby a lot of positive emotions! It is very convenient to use reusable adhesive pads for attaching cards with verses on the wall, on the door, on the furniture wall in a place convenient for you. When necessary, you can always unfasten the leaflet.

And here my introduction ends and your creativity and your joy from communicating with the baby begins!

Reading poetry is not just entertainment: listening carefully to mommy, the child gets acquainted with the outside world and learns a lot. The baby feels that he is loved, taken care of, he is interesting to mom and dad. The rhythm of the text calms the baby and cheers him up, entertains the baby and takes him to the magical world of fantasy and magic.

This section contains poems for the little ones. Read them to your baby from the first days of life, and when he learns to speak, memorize a few rhymes and pronounce them along with the baby. The repetition of rhyming lines is a kind of soothing therapy. When the baby is naughty or in a bad mood, say the first line of your favorite quatrain and see with what pleasure he will begin to repeat after you, forgetting about whims.

Near the mirror

These are eyes to see.
This is a nose to breathe.
These are ears to hear.
These are legs for running.
These are the handles to mom
Hug very tight.

Get up
We woke up,
We woke up.
Sweet, sweet stretched.
Mom and dad smiled.

Who is already awake?

Who stretched so sweetly?
Pull-pulls,
From toes to toes!
We'll stretch - we'll stretch
Let's not be small!
That's how, that's how we grow, grow!
Let's go with our feet, let's go!

For games "flying on the handles"

The helicopter-airplane flew with its mouth open,
Over forests, over fields, over big cities,
Flying all day long
He flew to visit his mother (dad).

Bathing and washing

Ah, good water!
Good vodka!
We bathe the baby
So that the face shines!

Nose, nose!
Where are you, nose?
Roth, mouth!
Where are you, mouth?
Puppy, Puppy!
Where are you, little one?
Will be clean
Daughter.

Worried about the tummy

pink tummy
Purring like a cat
purred like a puppy,
Bubbling a stream.
Ah, you belly, belly,
Who lives inside there?
Who interferes with the bainki
Little bunny?
We'll stroke the bellies
Thick watermelons.
Sleeping puppy, sleeping kitten.
Smiling child.

Small mittens

They flew like birds.
On the left handle - lope!
On the right handle - lope!
We'll go for a walk
We'll find the dog! (G. Lagzdyn)

Meow, mu, woof and others

All day grazing by the pines
Two girlfriends - Me and Mu,
Meow warmed the barrel in the sun,
Be interfered with him all day.
Quack swam nearby in the river,
I sang songs to the crow,
Woof was lying on the porch,
Oink snorted under a bush.
And now, my friend, remind me
Call by name
Those who on this hot afternoon
Caught our eyes. (T. Litvinova)

Pristavalka

- Why does mommy
Are there two dimples on your cheeks?
- Why does the cat
Legs instead of arms?

Why chocolates
Do not grow in the garden?
- Why did the nanny
Hair in sour cream?

Why do birds
No mittens?
- Why frogs
Sleep without a pillow?

"Because my son
Mouth without lock. (S.Cherny)

Kick, kick, heel!

(Lightly tap on the heel)
Kick, kick, heel!
Give grandma a shoe.
Do not give a shoe -
We do not shoe heels.

Poetry is the language of the soul, a unique gift, a special form of personal expression. Agree, not everyone is given so subtly, through rhythmically chosen words, to express a thought and describe their inner state, as special people do - poets. And children's authors have another unique ability - to speak a language understandable even to the smallest.

Reading poetry to a baby is not a waste of time, not a tribute to fashion, it is the familiarization of a little man with beauty, the education of his literary taste. Poetry awakens the best feelings in a person, touches the soul, excites emotions and develops the intellect.

When choosing poems for your baby, remember that they should be simple and short. Avoid intricate plots. Light rhyme and a relaxed form of narration are the criteria by which poetry should be selected for the smallest.

Short quatrains are suitable for kids, and older children will be interested in Pushkin's fairy tales. But it is better not to take them as a whole, but to break them into parts: we read one passage in the morning, and the second before bed.

The role of parents in the development of the child is difficult to overestimate. It is they who give the baby the first knowledge about the world around them, transmit vital skills. Therefore, it is important that the mother speaks with the baby as much as possible, commenting in detail on her actions. Let the baby still understand little, but listening to an adult, he accumulates a passive vocabulary, and you will be pleasantly surprised when he speaks.

Some tips for learning poetry

  • Before you start learning the poem, read it to your child with expression. Well, if you yourself will know it by heart.
  • If there are any words incomprehensible to the baby in the work, explain to the baby their meaning.
  • Read the work several times, breaking it into small semantic pieces.
  • Tell the baby about the author. By doing this, you gradually introduce the baby into the world of literature, educate culture and make the process of memorizing poetry more attractive.
  • Read one verse for several days in a row. Thus, the baby will memorize the text without much effort.
  • It is important that the adult himself be interested, because if you read without much enthusiasm, then the baby will be bored. Therefore, if you are tired or you are not in the mood, it is better to promise your baby that you will read to him next time.
  • Pick up a couple of vivid illustrations for the poem that you are going to learn by heart with a crumb. Visualization promotes memory.
  • Choose the quatrains you like, print and paste them all over the apartment. And every time you stumble upon a cheat sheet, say the verse with the baby. All other members of your family can join you as well.

Train your child's memory!

Not every kid can patiently listen to the end of a fairy tale or other prose story. Whereas children's poems do not tire with monotony, the rhyme in them jumps as if over bumps, easily holding the attention of a small listener. It's amazing how quickly children memorize rhymes, it's worth saying a few times, as they already agree on the ending with you. Be sure to use this ability, training memory from childhood, you will greatly simplify your child's schooling. Start with the poems of Agnia Barto in the “Toys” section, look for small quatrains, they are perfectly remembered. Most of them you yourself still remember by heart. So right?

How to learn a poem for the holiday?

In kindergarten and school, your child will often face the need to recite poetry in front of the public. It can be a New Year's party or an ordinary lesson, in any case, it is important that he is not afraid of this. But all you need to do is pay a little attention to it.

The poem must be learned in advance and repeated at home as if in between times, without focusing on the importance of the event. For example, you can say: “Remember, you and I learned a great rhyme? Well, tell it to me." Children's poems are usually simple and the child will quickly remember them. You can rehearse by telling a poem to dad or mom, grandfather or grandmother. You need to ask to speak loudly and with expression, but in no case should you lecture or interrupt during the speech. How your peers and you react to the first performance of a small artist is of great importance, so it is better to start with relatives. Having told a few rhymes to familiar people and, having received a benevolent reaction, you will give confidence to the baby. Poems for children at matinees perfectly train public speaking skills.
