Book Pairing: POETRY
Just like you might pair a fine wine with a gourmet meal, JOYcabulary pairs together read aloud books: usually a narrative text with an informational text, or sometimes two narrative texts around a similar topic. When we pair these together, comprehension is deepened as students make connections between the two books.
Today’s Book Pairing is all about POETRY. Where do poems come from? Wonder alongside a boy and his grandfather. These books are also great resources for Warm Up poems.
