Free Halloween Poem for Kids
If you’re new around here, you’ll quickly learn my love for teaching ELA using poems for kids.
The benefits of poems and nursery rhymes for younger kids are extensive. For example, poems can help build memory, receptive and expressive language skills, concepts of print, vocabulary, creativity, and make learning to read fun!
Little kids love the rhyming and repetition of this 10 Little Witches poem, and are eager to sing and read along. Ten Little Witches is the perfect way to bridge your reading and math activities for these special days!
To get into the Halloween spirit, I’m giving away a FREE Halloween poem for the young kids to enjoy! When you sign up for the Little Learning Corner newsletter, you get the Ten Little Witches poem, free. Grab it, HERE.

Older kids love a fun word search to find all the Halloween words. Did you know word searches help develop word recognition, assist in learning context clues, help build pattern recognition, improve visual discrimination, and help with spelling? According to the Gifted Guru,
these benefits are reasons to let kids try word searches from time to time.
