versatility
This resource has lots of possibilities for usage. I have used them for working on fluency in conjunction with literatures, used them in morning meetings, after recess to solve playground problems, and to work on poetry reading skills such as fluency and comprehension skills.
Original content
The poetry sets are an original work, and each of the poetry topics was chosen as a way to support students in my classroom. As behaviors cropped up, I created the poems. I also have a family member who struggles with an emotional disorder, so it was very meaningful to me to create the resource.
