Lisa B. –
I have loved using this in my 3rd grade classroom! The only thing I would change is on the page where the poem asks the kids to box the words that rhyme with red, they think they are supposed to find words that rhyme with the word red. I think it would be better if it said something like, “Put a red box around the words that rhyme.”
