Phonics Poem- The Snail

The Snail
Quietly sneaking
through the garden,
the tiny snail
delicately snips off
a piece of leaf,
then moves on a slivery trail
to find another
leafy snack.

Identify the sn- blends in the poem and think about the word delicate. What does it mean? Can you brainstorm a list of things that are 'delicate'?

Phonics Poem- The Slow, Sleepy Sloth

The Slow, Sleepy Sloth

There's a rainforest creature you really should meet.
She's got three toes on each of her feet.
Her name is another word for slow.
She's the sleepiest creature I ever did know.
Slumbers all day and slumbers all night,
Asleep in the treetops, way out of sight.
Sleep tight, sweet sloth,
And know this is true:
Sometimes we feel exactly like you!
-Kama Einhorn

Identify the sl- blends in the poem and draw a picture of what your bed would look like if you slept like a sloth.

Phonics Poem- Skyscraper

Skyscraper
Skyscraper, skyscraper,
Scrape me some sky:
Tickle the sun
While the stars go by.
Tickle the stars
While the sun's climbing high,
Then skyscraper, skyscraper,
Scrape me some sky.
-Dennis Lee

Identify the sk- blends in the poem and then write about a time you got lost in a skyscraper.
