Let’s Explore Poetry Reading Kit

Build literacy skills with poetry. 

This reading kit from Tim Rasinski brings poems to life in the classroom through rhythm, rhyme, performance, and joyful repeated reading opportunities. Designed to support fluency, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension, this collection invites students in grades K–6 to experience poetry.

Students will:

• Read and perform poems chorally or independently to build fluency, accuracy, and expression.
• Explore word family (phonogram) poems that reinforce phonics, spelling patterns, and decoding skills.
• Engage with classic nursery rhymes, traditional poems, and performance poetry to deepen comprehension and oral language.
• Discuss meaning, tone, and figurative language through repeated exposure to poetic texts.

Use this kit flexibly during routines, literacy centers, transitions, and lessons.
