Spider Poem

I LOVE having students work with poems. There are so many things you can do with poems. Students can identify rhyming words, high frequency words, specific sounds learned, they can cut apart the poem and sequence it, then glue and add it to a poetry journal. Too many fun activities...how do you use poems?

Download a copy of the spider poem below:
sing to "I'm a Little Teapot" 
I have students read the poem several times. This helps build fluency, word recognition, identify high frequency words and rhyming words and what ever else you may think of. Then, I have them cut the poem apart, mix it up really good, sequence it, then glue it to another piece of paper. They can then add it to their poetry journal for future reading.
