Each book is written for a different grade level, so the strategies and the poems are perfectly tailored to the developmental levels and the particular delights of that age Regie Routman shares a selection of free verse poems written by kindergartners she's worked with that will inspire your kindergartners to think, "I can write poems like this too " She shows you how to use these poems as models for children to write poems about things they know and care about: eating popcorn, playing in June, wishing for a pet dog, and more.
