Instructional Ideas

  • Read the poem out loud with your class to get the full effect of all the -ow words
  • Ask kids to underline or highlight the sections where they found the answers to the questions
  • Use this in a teacher-led center
  • Assign the exercise for homework or as a warm-up

Classroom Considerations

  • This is a fairly simple resource, so you'll want to use other activities and exercises to reinforce these concepts

Pros

  • The poems is silly, and kind of a tongue twister; kids will enjoy reading it out loud
  • The resource provides handwriting lines to support emerging writers

Cons

  • Does not include an answer key; answers are not difficult to determine
