What children learn in Level 63
- Poems play with words. Many poems rhyme: their lines end with words that sound the same, like down and town.
- Listen. Drip, drop, the rain comes down. It splashes puddles all through town.
- Poems use sense words too: words for how things look, sound, feel, smell, and taste. Drip is how rain sounds!
- You can make a poem! I see a cat, sitting on a mat.
- Try it with a grown-up! Make up a silly rhyming poem about your favorite animal.
