Poetry
Book Talk by Nicole Zimmerman
Cons
appropriate for K-5, but doesnt discuss how to change for different
grade levels; general beginner vs advanced distinctions are made for
poetry examples, but specific grade levels are not addressed
because the activities encompass more than just fluency, it does not
delve as deeply into just fluency
shows how word choice and arrangement are used to create emotional effect
lets readers and listeners get hooked on repetitive words and phrases
Poetry naturally invites oral reading and encourages performance which promotes rehearsal,
and practice is the key to fluency. If we frame practice as a rehearsal for a performance, we
can move away from rote repetitious activities and let students have fun with fluency!
Daily Poems
Peter, Peter, Pizza-Eater
Peter, Peter, pizza-eater,
How I wish that you were neater.
Half the pizzas on your shirt.
Clean the mess, or no dessert.
Daily Poems
Hickory, Dickory, Dock
Hickory, dickory, dock,
a mouse jumped in my sock.
He wiggled his nose
and tickled my toes,
which gave me quite a shock!
GigglePoetry.com - Text Jeffery Goodson, reprinted from Mary Had a Little Jam
published by Meadowbrook Press.
Daily Poems
Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat,
gently down the stream,
until you hit the waterfall
then youll start to scream.
