I'm a Little Green Frog - Karen Wehrle - Bog

I'm a Little Green Frog is a poem for preschool children which has a cadence to it when it is read aloud. The reader should put emphasis on the words in bold print. This will create a rhythm. The teacher or parent may have the students or child clap to the rhythm of the poem while saying: 1 and 2 and 3 rest 4, with bold print on the syllables and words to be emphasized.I'm a lit tle green frogsit ting on a wet log, look ing through the thick fogin the swamp y green bogI'm a Little Green Frog has been printed with a larger font than most children's books so that young eyes may focus better on the print when they are able to follow along with the reader. Practicing the qualities of rhythm and rhyming are certainly good exercises for young children as they grow through their early years, and watchingthe children perform is surely delightful for adults as well.
