Yesterday in tutoring I read Bear Hugs: Romantically Ridiculous Animal Rhymes by Karma Wilson. My student is a struggling reader and she has read so much in the short hour that we were together I felt like these short poems would be a great way to end our session.
This book is filled with so many clever poems about animals falling in love. Her favorites were “Bear Hugs” and “Turtle Love”. I would read her the poem and then she would read it to me and then we would read it together. This was a great way to work on her fluency, as well as, help her practicing some monitoring because she knew what the words should be.
I loved seeing her fall in love with poetry. She has so much fun! It was a great giggle filled tutor session.
Enjoy Some Poetry Today,
Ms. Cara
