Instructional Ideas

• Require learners to circle each -ap word
• Read the poem out loud together or in small groups so that learners can hear the -ap sound
• Assign this for homework or as a warm-up
• Ask pupils to underline or highlight the areas that gave them the answers to the questions

Classroom Considerations

• In an effort to get more -ap words into the poem, the creators of this resource put together a slightly odd poem

Pros

• Handwriting lines are provided to assist learners as they work on writing correctly
• There are quite a few -ap words included in the poem for kids to practice

Cons

• This does not include an answer key, but it should be quick to come up with one
