Teach Haiku, Close Reading, and Cross-Curricular Learning with Riddle-ku

Riddle-ku: Haiku for Very Close Reading makes teaching haiku to children easy with 30 American-style (5-7-5) haiku by award-winning poet Laura Purdie Salas (author of BookSpeak!, Water Can Be..., and more). Each haiku speaks from the voice of a common object recognizable to kids from kindergarten age up. These riddle poems make excellent close reading passages, as students study images and text and make inferences to answer them. A Note from the Poet with each poem shares Laura's writing process. Vivid language and rich nonfiction content-along with a sense of wonder and a dash of humor-make these poems engaging and accessible. Extension materials by Marcie Flinchum Atkins, including close reading activities, share ideas for springboarding from these riddle poems/haiku into deeper learning across many content areas.
