兼回复futurebm 评论： “提个小建议，供参考：少儿学Phonics时用的所谓诗歌，不是poem，是chant”
chant 是 chant， 但我说的就是真正的 poems，即练发音韵律，又增加文学素养。比如：
"Sweet and Low"
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Sweet and low, sweet and low
__Wind of the western sea,
Low, low, breathe and blow
__Wind of the western sea!
__Over the rolling waters go,
__Come from the dying moon, and blow,
__Blow him again to me;
While my litter one, while my pretty one sleeps.

The Little Turtle
By Vachel Lindsay (1879-1931）
There was a little turtle.
He lived in a box.
He swam in a puddle.
He climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito.
He snapped at a flea.
He snapped at a minnow.
And he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito.
He caught the flea.
He caught the minnow.
But he didn't catch me.

Silver
by Walter de la Mare
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
