Nikki Grimes - The Music of Language

Language learning is serious business. We all understand how important it is that our children learn how to read and write. But sometimes we take it a little too seriously, swinging the pendulum from the delightful wordplay of early childhood to the dry, regimented grind of grammar acquisition, spelling proficiency, and the mechanics of structure.

Unfortunately, a child’s natural love of the music of language is often lost in the process, and we spend years trying to figure out how to restore it. That’s where lyrical picture books play a vital role. Award-winning author and poet Nikki Grimes shows us how.
