Poetry from Chicago: With Practical Resources!

What a wonderful anthology of factual and fi ctional poetry for all ages, from pre-school through adulthood. Included are hundreds of poems, simple ones for the beginning reader, limericks, riddles, Haiku about names, personal, and, even, historical poems. Also, included are two lists of words: the fi rst, of over 1200 basic primary words which were, cleverly, used in The First Poems Chapter for the purpose of making easy, enjoyable, daily reading and writing activities, and, the second, a list of over 300 basic, chunked, generated rhyming words that can be used as references and study sheets, or, simply, as 5 minute, daily reading lessons! This anthology is fun, interesting, practical, and relevant, and is a must for every classroom and for every library, personal and public!
