What's inside?

  • 101 poems purposefully written by David L. Harrison - an expert in writing poetry children love
  • six application routines for use with all the poems that provide additional, critical practice in the patterns learned
  • opportunities to develop independence in word attack skills in reading and writing
  • chapters focus on specific patterns found in typical phonic curricular scope and sequences: short and long vowels, consonants, consonant blends and digraphs, rime families
  • two suggested activities specific to each poem extend phonic applications and provide opportunities for connecting to content areas, reading comprehension, and interesting Tier 2 vocabulary
