HOW THIS RESOURCE HELPS STUDENTS:
These short four lined poems can be extremely helpful with connecting voice to print, working on beginning sounds, identifying words in text, building high frequency word fluency, and decoding skills for CVC words.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE WINTER POEM OF THE WEEK BUNDLE:
Each of the poems are set up like the preview. You get:
~12 pages per set and 145 pages in all.
When I use them, I begin by teaching the poem for memorization. I project them on a smartboard and model whole group. Then, in small group, we practice with touchpoints initially and gradually move to independently “reading”. If your students are able to accurately track the print, they are on their way to reading.
In small group, I play games such as I spy to find letters with the sound ???, find sightwords, find words that rhyme with ???. You can work on identifying words in isolation as well. The poem in book form can be sent home for practice. The key is making poem of the week activities part of your routine. Over time, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your kids are reading. The sets are also great for intervention sessions.
MORE ABOUT THIS BUNDLE:
Prek-K classrooms often teach in themes or focus on a letter of the week. My hope is that you can work them into the themes you are teaching (SEE BELOW FOR LIST). Remember, the poems can be projected on your Smartboards or printed for students to handle. Use them in whole group, small group, in pairs, or individually.
I typically use one poem for each week, but pace according to your students’ needs. Repetition is the key to developing automaticity, so practice daily is important. Pull out your favorite pointers, and let your kids be teacher for the day. The poems also work well for repeated reading with parent volunteers, for sight word hunts, for letter recognition, and of course, concept of word.
