What's With Poetry?, Ch 3: Rhythm and metre

SUBJECTS:  English

YEARS:  3–4, 7–8


Have you ever had a song or a jingle that got stuck in your head?

This can happen because of the rhythm in the song or the jingle.

Rhythm helps us to remember a song, jingle or poem by reminding us of other songs, jingles or poems with the same rhythm.

Once you get a rhythm stuck in your head it can be very difficult to dislodge it!
