Kindergarten and First Grade Poem of the Week

3/9/2015

0 Comments

 

Poetry is a great way to teach phonics skills. I will do my best to post a poem a week that fosters reading skills. I also believe that reading poetry everyday is a great way to teach rhythm and meter. 

For children who are writing, you could ask your child to copy this poem into a notebook. This teaches both reading and writing skills.

Also, consider having your child make his.her own poem each day.

​
A Book Speaks
When you drop me on the floor
I get stepped on - my sides are sore; 
Torn-out pages make me groan; 
I feel dizzy if I'm thrown; 
Every mark and every stain 
On my covers gives me pain; 
Please don't bend me, if you do 
I don't want to talk to you; 
But we will both be friends together, 
If you protect me from the weather 
And keep me clean so that I look 
A tidy, neat and happy book.
