LISTEN TO WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicole says, “I love how this resource covers so many phonemic awareness and phonics skills with the use of engaging poems. My students enjoy reading the poem every week and they can definitely build on those foundational skills with the included activities. ”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Slager’s Time Savers says, “I’m loving these poems, and they’ve went with our weekly themes. We insert the poem into our poetry books and highlight letters/words. They’ve also done better with the cut & paste sheets than I anticipated.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How I Met Your Teacher says, ” I always loved these poetry sets. What I love more is that they have been adapted to support my students in distance and hybrid learning through Seesaw!! They have made my teacher life much easier!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ashley G. says, “When I taught second grade shared reading was my favorite time of day. Since moving to kindergarten I have struggled with shared reading. I love this resource–it keeps students engaged and active during shared reading. Thank you for adding the SeeSaw component–it will be perfect for my students who are hybrid this year.”
