Fall is a great time for scarecrows, and this fall poem of the week will work well for your students as fluency practice with repeated readings. The poem is an original poem and is intended to be used over a 3 day sequence with various fluency building activities.
Students need to work on comprehension and word analysis skills with a variety of texts, and poetry works well for brief lessons with lots of impact.ย Reading fluency is a critical skill for all primary readers. Using a Poem of the Week program is a well established fluency building strategy. If you use the activities I mentioned with each poem in a regular routine, you will see fluency growth.
This poem is a preview of my fall poem of the week collection that includes 10 original poems with blackline illustrations and color illustrations for fall and the beginning of winter as well as two analysis pages that will help your students with word study skills, comprehension of the poem, and specifically visualizing using text details.
Here are the titles of the poems included in the fall set linked below in case you are interested. You can tie them to themed literature for lots of discussion.
Each poem is intended to be used for the week for repeated readings, phrase marking, sightword highlighter hunts, word building activities, and comprehension. I starred the Fall set down below.
