Today I am happy to participate in our blog hop
and share my passion for using poetry
to improve the fluency skills of primary grade students!
Much of the action research project I conducted during my master's program
was devoted to studying the work of Timothy Rasinski, and I continue
to use repeated readings as a means of improving
students' ability to read with automaticity, expression, and
proper cadence or rhythm. This 2nd edition of his book contains
a gold mine of resources and ideas!
My free resource was designed with fluency improvement in mind,
and includes three
short, rhymed verses about arctic animals
that primary students can read in a variety of formats,
by themselves or
with a partner,
and many different times!

Be sure you are sharing a variety of quality trade books aloud with your students
and incorporating music into your daily oral language activities as well!

If you like to integrate writing
with your poetry studies, then you might like this related literacy
pack that has three more original verses about polar
animals, as well as ten task card prompts!
