pickAuthor/illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans' original Caldecott winner "Madeline" (P) tells of a spunky red-headed orphan who lives with Ms. Clavel and 11 other girls in Paris. Madeline develops appendicitis and has emergency surgery, but her friends and the locals band together to make her feel better. Written as a poem, this is a great option for CR, as well as UDL Representation 2.2 for introducing poetic structure (rhyme).

For ESOL students, strategy 34 is important when doing CR - emphasize accuracy over speed. https://m.busyteacher.org/11076-phonology-in-the-classroom-time-to-teach-rhyme.h... 5y
wmaxflowers I like how your lesson plan incorporates movement into rhyming. I think that will really help to teach the concept of rhyming. 5y

PatriciaS I love teaching with rhyming and movement. Interactive lessons keep students engaged, movement gets rid of nervous energy for EL students, and it's fun too. Rhyming is also good for memorization. 3y
