This humorous and engaging poem provides opportunities to discuss fear, courage, and making safe choices, as well as five days of built-in instruction that supports a different literacy skill every day of the week!

The poems in JillE Literacy help all students experience reading success and build their identities as readers with quick, repeated shared reading experiences that develop essential skills.

The five-day lesson plan on the back of every large-format JillE Literacy poetry card makes it easy to read and reread the poem over the course of a week, focusing on different aspects of the text each day.

“Fearless Phil” is part of the Grade 3 Whole-Class Resources kit but can be enjoyed by children and teachers of all ages!
