Create a poetry center or use these nursery rhymes and poems to accomplish meeting your standards!

KindergartenWorks brings you 45 pages of material for you to print and use. You can print them as 8 1/2" x 11" or enlarge to 11" x 17" on your copy machine and they'll still work perfectly in your smallest sized pocket chart. Print two copies of each and create a second set that you can cut and allow students to match words to the sentence strips.

Don't stop there - allow students to order the sentence strips, highlight the focus letters and read with pointers!

These sentence strips are a perfect height, with amplified spacing to help developing readers create foundational concepts about print.
