Summary: As I mentioned in an earlier post, poetry is considered an important literary art form in France and is taught to children at a young age. When they attended school in France, our children studied and memorized poems with their classes. They liked it and it taught them new vocabulary as well as taught them about the French values expressed within the poems they memorized. The website I am reviewing in this post lets you access many “grands classiques” of French poetry, searching by author or era (15th to 19th Century) and other criteria. You can also share your own French poems and they provide a link to their Android app that you can download for when you must have instant access to French poetry (I love it!).
Age group: Everyone! Pick a poem that is right for you and age-appropriate for your child.
Where you can get it: Just hop on over to the Poésie Webnet website to have access to classic French poems in the public domain. These are true classics that are worthwhile for any Francophile or bilingual student to know. http://poesie.webnet.fr
