Mini Lessons: Shared Reading - Strategy Lessons using Poetry

About this teaching resource

These mini lessons support a range of reading, writing and word work strategies that can be taught during Shared Reading and practiced during Independent Reading.

Create a Big Book of poems from our collection for use during Shared Reading. Provide students with small versions of the same poems to enable independent practice. Ready to print A5, A4, A4 enlarge to A3 versions available for each poem.

These strategies support short vowel CVC work during the early phase of word work development. (Words Their Way: Letter-Name Alphabetic phase).
