HOW THESE POETRY UNITS WILL HELP YOU:

• I have done all of the planning for you with a 5-day fluency plan. This will give your ideas to include during your shared reading time. This will allow you to teach your students with ease.
• Because my poems are set to familiar tunes, your students will learn them quickly. You will find them singing the poems again and again… even when it is not poetry time!
• Poetry for shared reading provides quick activities that are great for community building.
• These poems are given in a variety of formats so you can select the version that works best for you. You can make a pocket chart activity, display the poem under your document camera, or in Google Classroom or Seesaw.
