Old Elm Speaks: Tree Poems | 
This P picturebook personifies a tree and shares the importance of itself. This is a great book for kids to learn the significance of trees and the many ways living things use them. I would use this book for GR. One UDL & EL strategy is Clarify syntax and structure (2.2) & 14. Simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant. Here are some extension activities: http://www.kristinegeorge.com/teachers_guide_old_elm_speaks.html #UCFLAE3414SP20
DrSpalding When you look at the poetry page on the Google site, choral reading, echo reading, independent poetry readings are all recommended. You could use this for guided reading but that is probably not the best strategy. This is a nice anthology. As soon as I saw the topic was trees I made a text to text connection with Wishtree. 🌲 4y
