Carefully prepared lessons use the rhythm and rhyme of poetry to teach phonics. This book's 115 read-aloud poems - some from well-known children's authors like Norma Farber, Maurice Sendak, John Ciardi, and Jack Prelutsky, others written specially for this book - immerse children in particular language sounds again and again, in word after word, within an exciting context.

Photocopy masters supply "letter cards" for sounds the book targets. Multiple indexes (by the poem's first line, by title, by sound, and so on) aid ease of use. Grades preK-1. Illustrated. Good Year Books.
This poetry collection is meant to be read aloud so that children hear a particular language sound again and again in word after word, all within an enticing and meaningful context--P. [4] of cover.
