Poetry

We love doing poetry in Room 10. 

We have a new poem to learn and enjoy every week. Reading poems helps us develop our oral language. We learn to read smoothly with rhythm and phrasing and this helps us when we read books. The more often we reread our poems the better we get at reading. 

Here we are reading poems we already know from the big class poem folder and our own poem folders.

Reading poems also helps us notice rhyming words and develops our phonics skills. This helps us when we are writing as well as reading. 

At the end of each week we create our own responses to our poems by illustrating them. 

Then we take our poem folders home to share with our families over the weekend.
