Aliteracy Poem

Mrs. Thompson's second graders are amazing!
The principal says they can comprehend anything--
Even a medical textbook.

Mrs. Thompson's second graders are incredible!
The superintendent says their oral reading is completely seamless--
Like the gentle flow of an eternal spring.

Mrs. Thompson's second graders are fantastic!
The P.T.A. president says they finished the reading workbook and
the phonics workbook before the end of the Third Quarter.

Mrs. Thompson's second graders worry me.
You see, I'm the aide who works in Mrs. Thompson's classroom,
And I know something that the others don't.

Mrs. Thompson's second graders don't like to read.
