What a nice book this is! “A Cho­rus of Cul­tures” has hun­dreds of mul­ti­cul­tural poems and activ­i­ties that will greatly enhance a pri­mary classroom’s lit­er­acy pro­gram. The book is orga­nized by months, mak­ing it easy to plan and incor­po­rate the poetry into your daily activ­i­ties. It also has sev­eral indexes to help locate poems. Some of the poems are too dif­fi­cult for the younger chil­dren, and I found myself hav­ing to explain some of the poems to my first graders, but it is easy enough to pick and choose what to use. I found the “Devel­op­ing Lit­er­acy” activ­i­ties most help­ful, and the book includes poems writ­ten by chil­dren, which greatly impressed my students!
