Newspapers might not be as glamorous as tablets or other gadgets, but they are still an invaluable resource. 1. Newspapers build vocabulary. Numerous studies have found that reading can improve children’s vocabulary. Newspapers are filled with fresh stories that can introduce new words, helping strengthen their vocabulary and make them a more effective communicator. 2. Newspapers improve reading skills. Like the old adage says,“Practice makes perfect.” Reading newspapers frequently can help children develop reading and comprehension skills. 3. Newspapers promote critical thinking. Newspaper reporters are trained to objectively report the news, sharing facts without allowing their own opinions to influence their stories. Stories from the newspaper can serve as catalysts for discussions that focus not just on the facts listed in the story, but what might be behind them. Such discussions can help youngsters develop their critical thinking

Even though poetry is largely associated with professing thoughts of love and affection, classical thinkers employed a three-pronged classification for classic poetry. These included epic, tragic and comic. Later, poetry was identified as epic, lyric and dramatic. Lyric poems were short and often personal. This gave rise to dramatic verse and the modernday evolution of performance poetry. Today, poetry is classified in various categories, from ballads to couplets to sonnets to limericks. Various nations are known for their styles of poetry, such as the Japanese haiku or the French rondeau. And while there are rules that govern particular types of poetry, there also are rule-breakers who create poetry as unique as their thoughts. Anyone who can take pen to paper — or cursor to screen — can create poetry. Poetry is one of the more lasting forms of selfexpression, and one that figures to continue withstanding the test of time.

Historians believe that poetry is one of the earliest forms of communication, and one that may even predate literacy. Poetry was once a means of recording history and telling stories. Derived from the Greek “poieo,” meaning “I create,” poetry has long been a language prized for its aesthetic qualities and ability to convey emotions in a way that routine prose cannot. Poetry is also closely related to musical traditions, as it often features verses that are lyrical in nature. Repetitive verses and rhythm were assets in early oral traditions because they made lengthy or important stories easier to remember and retell. Many believe that the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor andConnect the Epic of Gilgamesh are some of the • Discover • Enjoy earliest forms of poetry.
