My ABC Poet Tree
Reading poetry LEAVES me happy!
by Penny MacInnis


The alphabet poems, written to go with each piece of artwork, done by 5-7 year olds, contain many commonly used words. After the child has read each poem they will read “After you have listened to me, please sign your name on my poet tree.” A parent, sibling, grandparent, relative, friend, or teacher will sign one of the leaves. The author did something similar with her kindergarten, grade one, and grade two classes for years as part of her home reading program, and both parents and students loved it. There is an option with this book that introduces children to the act of charitable giving that they can choose to explore!
