Hey all,
I don't know why I didn't ask y'all sooner, but whatcha got for poems for struggling middle schoolers?
The kids I work with tend to test between first and fourth grade levels. I'm also working with ESOL/ELL (Spanish speakers learning English) who are testing higher but need help with English fluency.
I'm aware of guys like Silverstein and Stevenson. I picked up a book of Nye's. But I'm still struggling to find things they can read and be interested in. I like to keep the material fresh as best I can.
Whatever you got for kids would be great and/or anything that is bilingual. I just need ideas. Thank you!
