recorded reading
Did you know that:
Rhyming is contagious
Well this is what we’re told.
It quickly spreads through children
But it’s dreadful when you’re old.
It’s passed by reading poetry –
Or rhymes passed from your mouth.
It travels quickly through the schools
And runs from north to south.
When I visit children’s classrooms
And read them a little rhyme –
The children catch my rhyming –
It takes just a little time.
I feel guilty as I leave them –
When I think what I have done.
But the teachers seem quite happy
For it’s part of Key Stage One.
