Poems

__POEMS__ Every week you will recieve a poem to take home and read to your parents, your friends, and yourself. Then Friday, you will read the poem to Mrs. Sherbert. If you have read to your parents, your friends, yourself, and to Mrs. Sherbert, then you will recieve a 20/20 in the grade book. Each reading is worth 5 points. This is to help increase your fluency, accuracy (reading the words right), and automaticity (reading the words automatic without having to sound them out). The more you read, the better you will become at all three of these. So, remember to always read your poem! Below are the poems you will be reading throughout the year!
