Note to parents: One or two words in this 'epic poetic' may be unfamiliar to very young children. By harnessing the power of repetition when read aloud by a parent or older reader who enjoys the poetic rhythm of the story, the child will gain an intuitive understanding and enjoyment of the English language in action. The child's vocabulary will grow from their love of language. Time spent reading aloud to children is time well spent and will get them off to a great start when the time comes for more formal learning.
