A Visit to William Blake‘s Inn, written by Nancy Willard, is a PF compilation of simple poems written by a real historical figure, William Blake. Nancy takes these poems and adds them to a little girl‘s world because she is bedridden with the measles. These poems are great for students who benefit from rhyming and repetition. #ucflae3414fl19

The provided lesson plan includes multiple IR activities.
ESOL strategies include: Integrate speaking, listening, reading and writing activities.
Highlighting patterns will assist with comprehension.

DrSpalding This sounds like a book that could be integrated into social studies instruction as well. I am not sure what PF stands for but independent reading and of course individual or choral poetry readings could work. 4y
