Joey Harris Jerry Aldridge Pick Some "P's" to Perk Up Your Reading Program Are you looking for some ways to inject a lively, perky ap- proach to your reading program? Try these. They can be used wit h any type of reading program, can be adapted to any age group, and will add fun and variety to daily assignments. Poems Pick a poem to start your day, to follow a hard work period, or to help with discipline when things get out of hand. Poems have a wonderfully calming quality. Select poems that have a rhythm or beat. They can be especially appealing if the rhyme is one that can be chanted as a choral reading. Silly and short poems usually get immediate attention and a smile from your students. Some of our favorite include: 'The Purple Cow" by Gelett Burgess; "Puppy" by Aileen Fisher; "Three Potatoes in a Pot," author unknown; "Sh" by James S. Tippett; and "Keep a Poem in your Pocket" by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers. After your students have committed the poems to memory, let them read them from a chart for an enjoyable group experience. Next, the poems can be transferred to large index
