Grade 1 English - Reading Literature - Prose and Poetry — Flashcards

Frequently, first grade students should be reading grade-appropriate prose and poetry. Some of their reading should be for pleasure. Other times the reading may be assigned reading. The teacher should support and prompt the students to read books that are on their level. 

Poem: Leaves

The leaves change
From green
To red
To brown

A leaf blows
And there it goes
It falls and it is found
On the ground
