No Prep Activities and skills for each poem:
* Touch Reading: A copy of the poem for students to touch each word as they read to themselves or a partner.
*Comprehension: Students discuss the meaning of the poem and demonstrate comprehension by illustrating and writing about related topics and personal connections.
*Sequencing: Lines of the poem are mixed up and must be cut apart and glued back in order on another template page (included). Students are reminded not to glue until they have checked that the order is correct by reading it aloud.
*Tracing – Students practice correct letter formation by tracing the poem; also excellent differentiation for students not able to complete some of the other activities.
*Pocket Chart Poem: The entire poem is printed in large fonts to use in a pocket chart. It may also be used as a sequencing literacy center for collaborative small groups.
*Missing Words: Students use the words from the list to complete the missing words in the poem – letter boxes are used for extra support.
*Following Directions: Students use different colors to identify key aspects of spelling patterns and rhyming words in the poem.
*Writing templates: Opinion writing, comparing and contrasting, or personal response writing about a related topic.
