Alphabet Books:
This
concept book represents letters of the alphabet, which can also be known as ABC
books. There is a variety of literature that surrounds this genre and
encapsulates a wide range of reading levels. There are potpourri alphabet books
(a version with no uniformity), sequential alphabet books (these have a story
being told), and themed alphabet books (are about one specific topic e.g.
fruit). The repetition and unpredictability of alphabet books make this genre
very enjoyable.
Poetry:
Poetry by definition is verse in which word images are selected and
expressed to create strong, often beautiful impressions. These images and
mindsets often allow individuals to view the world from a new perspective.
Marvelously, poetry is able to express all of this in very few words. When
looking into your favorite poetical quotes, you do not them only once, however,
you read them over and over again. Children fulfill this same process with
books like Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose rhymes. Many types of poetry have rhythm
and rhyme, but not all need to. There is
free verse, narrative, concrete, lyric, limerick and haiku. Each type of poetry
is different and unique in its own way, just like children are. One thing to
remember when discussing poetry is that, different children have different
tastes and allowing an exploration of a variety of poems can encourage positive
poetry in our loved ones.
