Happy National Poetry Month! We have used poetry in our literacy learning all year long. Poems are a great way to introduce rhyme and reading with fluency. Reading poems is fun! We also look within poems that we have learned to practice predicting beginning sounds and endings sounds. We have also practiced finding specific letters or Word Wall words. By now, most of my students know all their Kindergarten words, so we have begun adding some first grade words to our word wall:
This month, we have been learning Rainy Day by Gina Bell-Zano. Today we highlighted our high frequency words with highlighter tape and read the poem a silly way by only reading the highlighted words. Then we read it correctly. We did such a great jobs with our reading! Click the links below for videos of us reading!
