MakeBelieve Arts presents The Poetry Basket . An online course where you will find thirty-six videos containing poems with actions for children aged 3 to 6. Performed by MakeBelieve Arts Artistic Director Trisha Lee, these poems include many lesser-known children's rhymes from anonymous authors.
"If children know eight nursery rhymes by heart, by the time they are four years old, they're usually among the best readers by the time they are eight.”
