Falling Up Special Edition
Falling Up Special Edition: With 12 New Poems | Shel Silverstein
7 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
Let the magic of Falling Up open your eyes and tickle your mind! With twelve additional never-before-published poems, here is a special edition of this beloved poetry collection. Within the pages of Falling Up, you'll meet Allison Beals and her twenty-five eels; Danny O'Dare, the dancin' bear; the Human Balloon; Headphone Harold; and more unforgettable characters. This wondrous collection lets you wander through the Nose Garden, ride the Little Hoarse, and eat in the Strange Restaurant, with poems and drawings that are both outrageously funny and profound. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books said of Falling Up, "An enticing blend of wickedness, creativity, and rhythm makes the verse entertaining, readable, and often chantable."

Gotta love the wacky way the brain of Shel Silverstein worked. His poetry is just as amusing as an adult as it was as a kid. #21-2022

In the Shel Silverstein picture poetry book you are taken to many places mentally when discussing the text and the drawings within the text. The book is good for readers theater activities and opens your eyes and tickles your mind. The UDL principle is 3.2 and the ESOL STRATEGY is 8. Use direct instruction: Modeling( explaining, scaffolding, name the strategy and how to use it.

audrey.wilson This book looks so cute!! I love your source and book choice, can‘t wait to read it. 5y
DrSpalding While Scholastic is obviously a wonderful selection, please consider using the poets website as it is amazing! 5y

Shel Silverstein is my youngest daughter's favorite. She loves reading his poems out loud. I love the bedtime snuggles ❤

Falling Up is a wonderful poetry book written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein. This ALA Booklist Editors‘ Choice winner includes 144 poems. This would be great as a RA because poetry isn‘t always understood by everyone so it would provide stopping points for the teacher to check for comprehension. #UCFLAE3414F17

laurie_jayy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBRGFFnU-Ik links to a video of the poems being read. UDL “4.2 Optimize access to tools and assistive technologies:” the above video. EL “14. Simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant“ is an important one so students can understand what is being said. 6y
MeghanW Poems are not usually my favorite, but he just does an amazing job! His poems are funny and relatable with is great for students to get connected. Reading slower gives students the opportunity to understand and reflect on what is being said. 6y
EricaG I loved Shel Silverstein when I was a kid! His poems are so fun to read! I love that you included a video of the poem being read and your EL strategy is perfect. 6y

My least packed, most organized bookshelf. The rest are stuffed to the gills! This has a mix of books, I worked on, books I want to read, and books I want to show off. #shelfie #riotgrams
