Poetry

Welcome Parents! 

One of the best ways to help your child read with fluency is to practice reading with poetry. I have begged, borrowed, and scavenged to find many poems to help our young readers.

To get to the poetry, click on a category listed below. All poems for that category should show below. I apologize if this page on my site looks a little messy. I first want to make the poems available to you. I will later work on cleaning up a bit! Thanks for understanding and supporting our young readers!

Good luck, and happy reading!

Description

LOOK WHAT MY BODY CAN DO!

HERE ARE MY EYES.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
BLINK AND CRY
AND SHINE BRIGHT BLUE.

HERE IS MY NOSE
WHAT DOES IT DO?
BREATHES AND SMELLS
AND SOMETIMES KER-CHOOS!

HERE ARE MY HANDS.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
SWING AND CATCH
AND WAVE HI TO YOU.

HERE ARE MY FEET.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
JUMP AND RUN
AND WALK TO THE ZOO!

Parents and Teachers:

I hope to make my website a growing resource for developing readers. If you find links to any interesting, appropriate poems for first graders, please send me the link or a copy of the poem!

Thanks!
