Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First grade poems focus on: all about me, school, community, animals, math, life cycles, and much more. The poems in the collection are from four to fifteen lines long. Those within the beginning themes are simpler, including many high frequency words that children can use as anchors and a great deal of repetition to make the poems more predictable. Reading a poem in many forms makes it fun for first graders to practice and develop their reading skills. For individual, group, and whole class work, we've provided the tools you need. Each poem has a student poem page with an engaging illustration. This enables children to create their own personal poetry collections."--Teaching Resource Center.
