Publisher's Synopsis
Hear the rhythm and cadence of poetry and the joy of poetic language with the children in your class. The topics of the 44 poems reflect a child's world. This book provides a delightful poem for every week of the year, including poems for the seasons. The poems are relevant, lively, touching and thematically appropriate. Suggestions are given to bring out the specific phonemic focus for each poem, as well as ideas for making the poems personal and interactive. Each poem is provided in two ways: a student copy of the poem which makes a great home connection and easy-to-create poetry strips which will fit into a Desktop Pocket Chart.
