March 21st was United Nation’s World Poetry Day. The goal of this day is promote reading and writing poetry, and poetry in education.
According to the official World Poetry Day website “Poetry is a song of freedom, enabling us to affirm our identity through creation. Poetry is also the song of our deepest feelings...Through its words and its rhythm, poetry gives shape to our dreams of peace, justice and dignity, and gives us the strength and desire to mobilize to make them real.”
Poetry is a wonderful way to build your students' reading skills. In my collection four first-grade leveled books Literature Topics - Leveled Books: First Grade Levels F - I your students will have the opportunity to explore different literature topics including a poem, two fables, and a folktale.
