Shared Reading Poems for April with 5 Day Plan

Description

What students DON’T enjoy singing and rhythmic poems? Shared reading poems are the perfect way to integrate literacy and science as you are inviting the students to practice reading with you-shared reading! With these fun, rhythmic, songs/poems, students enjoy reading along with the teacher each day as they focus on a different reading skill or strategy.

This resource includes:

• 4 weeks of poems and songs (2 styles of each poem in print and digital)
• a whole group phonics pocket chart sort
• 2 phonics cut-and-paste practice activities for each week
• a 5 day plan with suggestions for teaching
• DIGITAL Google Slides of each poem and phonics sort

The poem topics and phonics activities included are:

• A Day on the Farm: /ee/ sound
• Caring for Earth: /oa/ sound
• Life Cycles: /ie/ sound
• The Rainforest: /oe/ sound

How else can I use these materials?

• Use the cut-and-paste activities as morning work, homework, or in a word work station after you have completed the pocket chart sort whole group
