I always search for poems that reinforce the sight words we introduce and this does just that. I type and put it in their homework notebooks to work with for the week. Although I have quite a collection of poems I have used, this has been a nice addition and saves time when looking for support of specific words. I have not used the pages as they are written, to have children write the word in the spaces, but I'm sure others would find it useful. I have purchased way too many teaching resource books that go unused but this one is well worth the price! Great for kindergarten and grade 1!

I have been using this book this year in first grade. The children are not only seeing, hearing and writing the words, they are also getting a mini handwriting lesson. We use the poems for shared reading and they can take them home that day and read them to their family.

This book provides students opportunities to work on several skills together in context: handwriting, sight word memorizing, reading, and rhyming. My students enjoy working on the poems and are pleased that they are able to read most of the poem on their own, due to the high number of sight words incorporated into the poem's text. We also are able to review rhyming words with each poem.

As a kindergarten teacher the book saves me so much time by putting all the sight words we target into one book of poems. I use the poems in many different ways. The poems are used in my pocket chart and writing stations. When the students really like a poem I put it on chart paper and hang up on the wall where they are able to read it during the read around the room station. This book is well worth the money.

I like that the worksheets are simple, easy and repetitive for young learners. The rhyming poetry is not forced and very clever to assist memory and engagement for early years children. I purchased this resource with the Sight Word Mini books and Sight Word Practice Pages. A great package to save busy teachers time making something similar when teaching and reinforcing basic sight words. Highly recommend the three books together.

I like to use these poems with my kindergarteners throughout the school year. They love them as they are often repetitive and easy to read. The kids love reading them together as an entire class and then trying to read them individually (which most of them can do with practice!). ;-) Great purchase!

I've had this book for several years and find it most helpful for my struggling and ELL primary-age readers. But even more able 1st and 2nd-grade readers can benefit, especially when using the poems for fluency practice. For those lower-level and challenged students, each poem gives them practice in writing a given sight word, then reading it in context, which gives them a sense of accomplishment. Many of the poems have accompanying illustrations on each line which further helps the ELLs. I copy a poem, they fill in the blanks and practice for fluency, then keep the pages in a poetry folder that goes in their individual book bags. I also have laminated copies available for fluency practice in my literacy work stations. Well worth the money!

Some of my children don't have as much reading experience as others and have trouble establishing "anchor" words for self-monitoring. I was happy to find this and look forward to using it this year.

I feel like it is a little too easy for my students. It is definately for young students. My students seem to get a little board with the repitition of the same word. It just wasn't what I expected.

This book looks like it will be very helpful. Can't wait to try it in the up coming year.
