Reading with activitiesMaking reading fun for the youngBy Samantha Tilford
My goal with the reading activities and having them draw pictures is to help keep them focused and active. I was an infamous fidgeter as a child and for some reason I always focused more when there was a task that involved movement, even if it was with my hands- as in coloring.
In class activity
Instructions:
You are given two piece of blank paper. Fold each
one hamburger style, then hotdog style then back to
hamburger style. You should now have eight squares on each paper.
Each square is going to be a picture related to a slide.
POETRY AND RHYMING
Fun poems
I have to write a poembut I really don't know how.
So maybe I'll just make a rhyme
with something dumb, like "cow."
Okay, I'll write about a cow,but that's so commonplace.I think I'll have to make her
be...a cow from outer space!
My cow will need a helmetand a space suit and a ship.
Of course, she'll keep a blasterin the holster on her hip.
She'll hurtle through the galaxy
on meteoric flightsto battle monkey aliensin huge karate fights.
She'll duel with laser saberswhile avoiding lava sprayto vanquish evil emperorsand always save the day.
I hope the teacher likes my tale,
"Amazing Astro Cow."Yes, that's the poem I will
writeas soon as I learn how.

If school were more like Baseball - Kenn Nesbitt
If school were more like baseballwe'd only have to play.We'd hang out in the sunshineand run around all day.
We wouldn't have to study.We'd practice and we'd train.And, best of all, they'd cancelwhenever there was rain.

Types of poems POEMS AND RHYMING
Poem formats
Quick DefinitionsWe will focus on four types of poems at the
moment: Quatrain poems are usually four lined poems where lines 2 and 4
rhyme. Acrostic poem- where you make a word. Ballad poetry where it tells a story, usually four lines in a stanza
where it rhymes lines abab or abcb usually at three beats a line (to figure out how many beats a poem has clap your hands together.)
Haiku poems- originated in Japan, it focuses on syllables or beats. It is usually three lines.

chosen at random if you wish. Now write your first line. Make sure you
