Poem of the Month

Fly Feet

It’s impossible to feel anxious about reading when you’re laughing. That’s why so many of the stories and poems in JillE Literacy incorporate humor. Humor engages students and helps them see that reading can be a lot of fun, not just something they have to do to get through the school day.

Humorous poetry is an especially effective way to engage all readers by encouraging active participation in short shared reading experiences that develop word-solving skills, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension in a low-stress context. 

How does JillE Literacy support the science of reading?

Incorporate a quick poetry lesson into your daily shared reading lessons whenever you or your students need a boost, and use the built-in five-day lesson plan to focus on a different teaching opportunity each day.

“Fly Feet” is part of the Grade K Whole-Class Resources kit but can be enjoyed by children and teachers of all ages!
