Leap Into Literacy
March/April: Grade K
Poetry in the Kindergarten Classroom
Poetry can bring students together to discuss important themes while also providing them with a strong literacy foundation. The concepts embedded in poetry, like rhyme, alliteration, personification, and imagery, are foundational to decoding, comprehension, and fluency--the backbones of good reading. Additionally, using poetry is a great interactive way to engage students in literacy activities to help learn sight words.
