Literacy (A Sestina)
When teaching children how to read
multiple techniques must be used.
The senses ought come into play,
remaining calm and always kind.
A hued kaleidoscope of hope,
intelligence found within each.
Kids can reach their high plateau, each
figure which method works to read.
As leader, you're projecting hope,
both comics and physics are used.
"Hooked on Phonics", one of a kind,
lets them hear sounds while a tape plays.
Absorption takes hard knocks and play.
Pace determined, separates each,
learners, made of different kinds,
leaves necessary time to read.
Reciting rhyme, not one I like used,
forced, a child can not cope or hope.
Give, you, like to "City of Hope".
Gears of their brains come into play,
amazing how much is not used.
Finding ways to reach out to each,
solving their health needs helps them read.
All are future aids to their kind.
Support for growth, other tool kind,
comes from friends and family's hope.
Afraid because they do not read,
try to get them to stay and play.
Older and younger, one of each,
convergence is the cat's paw used.
Their surrounding small space is used.
So minds become wondering kinds.
New horizons arise in each.
Reading fuels their ticket to hope.
Books are like a live Broadway play,
when "Horton Hears the Who" they read.
Literacy brings each child hope.
Educated young used fair play.
Open eyed, kind kids, destined, read.
