Phonics Poem- A Squirmy Squid

A Squirmy Squid
A squirmy squid is squiggling.
Squids always write with ink.
She squirms because she's giggling,
which makes it hard to think.
The giggling turns to squealing
the squealing turns to squawks.
The squawking wakes the walrus,
who was sleeping on the rocks.
The walrus cries "Who's squeaking?"
"I'm down here!" squeaks the squid.
"Please, help me finish up this poem!"
and so the walrus did.
-Jed Miller
Identify the squ- blends in the poem and then brainstorm a list on things that squeak and squeal and squawk.
