About This Reader
This kindergarten-appropriate poem focuses on the essential sight word 'have,' which aligns with Common Core Standard RF.K.3.C for high-frequency word recognition. The poem 'Have' takes a first-person perspective as a child shares the various possessions and abilities they have, creating a relatable and engaging reading experience for young learners. Each line begins with 'I have,' providing consistent repetition that helps kindergarten students recognize and internalize this common sight word through meaningful context. The poem incorporates several clear rhyming pairs (cat/hat, read/seed, ride/hide, sing/everything) to develop phonemic awareness skills as outlined in RF.K.2. These rhyming patterns help young readers predict text and recognize similar sound patterns in words. The accompanying assessment questions measure both sight word recognition by counting occurrences of 'have' and phonemic awareness through identifying rhyming word pairs. Kindergarten teachers can use this poem during shared reading experiences, as part of a unit on possession words, or in literacy centers. The familiar objects and activities mentioned make this sight word poem accessible to beginning readers while building essential reading fluency and comprehension skills.
