Making reading fun for the young
By Samantha Tilford
My goal with the reading activities and having them draw pictures is to help keep them focused and active. I was an infamous fidgeter as a child and for some reason I always focused more when there was a task that involved movement, even if it was with my hands- as in coloring. - 2. In class activityInstructions:
You are given one piece of blank paper. Fold the paper hamburger style, then hotdog style then back to hamburger style. You should now have eight squares on your paper. Each square is going to be a picture related to a slide. - 3. Poetry and Rhyming
Fun poems - 4. I Have to Write a Poemby Kenn Nesbit
I have to write a poem
but I really don't know how.
So maybe I'll just make a rhyme
with something weird, like "cow."
Okay, I'll write about a cow,
but that's so commonplace.
I think I'll have to make her be...
a cow from outer space!
My cow will need a helmet
and a space suit and a ship.
Of course, she'll keep a blaster
in the holster on her hip.
She'll hurtle through the galaxy
on meteoric flights
to battle monkey aliens
in huge karate fights.
She'll duel with laser sabers
while avoiding lava spray
to vanquish evil emperors
and always save the day.
I hope the teacher likes my tale,
"Amazing Astro Cow."
Yes, that's the poem I will write
as soon as I learn how.

or a lean green bean
and the stalk its on?
- On your piece of paper in the upper Left corner square will you please draw something green.

- For this activity I want the entire class to read the passage out loud- as loud as you can. On the count of three: 1 2 3!
- 8. Now draw something to do with baseball on the next square to the right at the top
If school were more like baseball
we'd only have to play.
We'd hang out in the sunshine
and run around all day.
We wouldn't have to study.
We'd practice and we'd train.
And, best of all, they'd cancel
whenever there was rain.
