There are a lot of wonderful poems in this book. There are two poems for each short vowel, long vowel, consonant and blends. I would give it 5 stars except there are several purposely misspelled common words. For example, the word get is spelled git in one poem. The poem for z spells was as waz and as is spelled az. I wouldn't expect this in a book that is supposed to teach children phonemic awareness and phonics. Wouldn't it be better to teach children that an s sometimes says the /z/ sound? Or, that get is correctly pronounced with the short /e/ sound and it spelled that way too?
This book can be used for creating a poetry collection for first graders learning sounds. I was very impressed with it when I saw it and will probably use it more and more each year.
