From Wikipedia, in case anyone else hadn't heard of three cueing before.
Three cueing, also known as the searchlight model or MSV (which stands for meaning, syntax, and visual information), is a controversial method of teaching young children how to read. It involves guessing the meaning of unfamiliar words based on context clues, as opposed to phonics, the more traditional method of sounding out words. The method originated in the 1960s out of the work of Ken Goodman and Marie Clay, and soon saw widespread adoption in classrooms. The related theories of balanced literacy and whole language both utilize three cueing.

Day 28: Coffee or Tea
Day 28: Coffee or Tea Every morning, my husband Comes into my office an takes my coffee mug Then he goes downstairs And makes me a latte After he brings it up for me, He’ll go back downstairs and make one For himself It’s his way of showing he loves me. The rest of the day, If I want a drink that’s not water, I’ll have hot or cold tea. I prefer the taste of tea Except for that first morning latte.

Day 25: Story
Day 25: Story Tell me a story, I want to hear Of a time when living wasn’t so drear. Oh dear! Let’s see, Going back through history… The rich have always had it good… Upon the backs of others they stood. The poor and those who didn’t fit By race or gender, they were bent To make the stairs the wealthy climbed All through history, time after time. It matters not what era you look in, The tale’s the same, just a diff'rent spin Even in periods where it was better, Where wealth was spread a little thinner, Even then, as you can see, There was a lot of disparity Not as much in rich vs poor, But human rights still had more To go to make us equal To see all earthlings as one people Who deserve, one and all, Unbiased rights to be the law.

Day 23: Singing

The music of the world has hit a discordant note.


The angels sing out of harmony.
The heavenly conductor throws down his baton
And threatens to go to hell,
For, he says, the demons can’t be any worse.
Day 23: Singing The music of the world has hit a discordant note.
 The angels sing out of harmony. The heavenly conductor throws down his baton and threatens to go to hell, For, he says, the demons can’t be any worse. In hell, the horned conductor has the opposite problem. His demons are pitch perfect, Their music lifts everyone spirits, Bringing them all a little closer to heaven.

Day 20: Circus

#NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry #Poem #PoetryCommunity #amWriting #NPM #Circus #Politics
Day 20: Circus Heard the American people have spoken. Thought send in the clowns. Heard we’ve given Washington a moral imperative. Thought it’s a three-ring circus. Heard he’s picked his cabinet. Thought here comes the clown car. Heard he’s replacing everyone, clearing out the swamp. Thought how many clowns fit into that car anyway? Here’s your popcorn, Keep your eyes on the center ring.

#NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry #Poem #PoetryCommunity #amWriting #NPM #Kite
Day 18: Kite I catch the hint of a string first, As I notice the students standing on the green. Their hands hold something, And though I can’t see it From where I sit in my car At the circle where other parents Ignore the No Parking sign Just as I’m doing, I look upwards. There is a kite-flying pose that every child and former child knows Hand outstretched, Feeling the tension in the string Eyes upward, Watching the dance of the kite on the breeze. In my car, I’m transported back To soft spring days, Newspapers spread on the floor. A cross made of two sticks, bound by twine Folding the comics over the wood, Then taping a single line down and one across. Finally, tying a soft cloth tail is tied to the end. Dad drove us out to a field. The giggles as I ran, Short arms outstretched As high as I could reach, Trying to lift the kite into the sky… Dreaming of it lifting me, Imagining flying high over the fields, Looking down at the people living their lives. The wind tugged the paper loose from tiny hands And I flopped back onto the grass and watched it soar.

Day 17: Organize
Day 17: Organize Workers of the world, unite! Do not give in without a fight. Whether desk or factory laborer Artist, bar keep, tinker, tailor If you strive instead of dally, Join us, add to the tally. Those with wealth might think us peasants, They need to learn we’re more like fire ants. Alone it’s true, we each are tiny, But joining together we are mighty. And so we must ignore their lies. Today’s the day to organize.

You Run your hand Across My strings I let out a Low Moan One hand Gently cups my neck As you strum me I sigh I tremble My music is only for you You pull my knobs Adding to my tension I am tight So tight Eager for more Gently You slide your plug Into my socket I let Out a Whimper Clutching me to you Your hand comes down You play me until I breath a note of relief

Day 11: Friday
Friday Is the start of my weekend. My week now is Monday through Thursday. Four days of driving back and forth, Watching the miles pile up on the “new” car. Three years old, but it’s not the Volvo With all the bells and whistles. It’s the accidental car, the one we thought was a replacement, Only to find it’s so basic that there’s not dual heating; a requirement when only one partner is cold-blooded. But today is Friday No hours spent in the car No miles piled on It is the rest day I imagine Sunday was supposed to be But never was. Growing up, rushing to get ready for church, Making sure you had everything: Bible, check Lesson book, check Hair brushed, no…run do it now. Teeth brushed? Check Straighten your dress, it’s twisted. There, now you look presentable. It felt like school before Monday marked the official school Sunday school, literally. Not a day of rest. But Fridays are Lazy Restful Nap-able Recharging Snuggle up with a good book and throw something easy in the oven for dinner-type of days. The promise at the end of the week.

Day 10: Post/Mail

I am very young,
Watching, through the screen door
For the postman to bring the mail.

Will there be anything for me?
I don’t know, but I hope.

I am very young, Watching, through the screen door For the postman to bring the mail. Will there be anything for me? I don’t know, but I hope. The idea of something arriving from somewhere I’m not fascinates me. It doesn’t matter what it is, anything mail is something outside of me And the world outside of me seems vast and endless. I have yet to discover how vast and endless it is inside of me. At night I dream of telephones, Rooms and rooms of phones. Only one works, but I can’t find the one with a connection. Outside of the house there is nothing but emptiness.

Day 7: Library

I'll have to come back and finish this one, but I covered the challenge word. #Nationalpoetrymonth #poetrycommunity #poetry #poem #amWriting #NPM

In a corner of the library,
In a small hidden nook,
Lives a wee little fairy,
And her pet mouse Snook.
In a corner of the library, In a small hidden nook, Lives a wee little fairy, And her pet mouse Snook. Now the fairy’s name is Airy, And she and little Snook Love to come out at night And visit all the books.

Day 6: Children's Poem or Nursery Rhyme

I struggled to come up with one today.

#NationalPoetryMonth #Poetry #Poem #NurseryRhyme #PoetryCommunity #amWriting #NPM
On Election Day each year Many voters disappear They’d rather leave voting to another Like their neighbor or their brother And thus the dead is done, and then, Their days of misery begin If they had voted when they should It would have done the nation good. But giving up their vote by choice Took their chance to have a voice. And now their cries fall on deaf ears The elected party thrives on tears. So children heed this lesson sound, When Election Day comes round Remember to make your voice heard So we don’t elect a turd.

An epigram to start the month.

US elections should be held on April Fool's
Since no matter who wins, we lose.

Does writing count?

The Goat Man whistles as a woman burdened by grief returns to a mountain that doesn’t forget—or forgive. In the Southern Gothic "An Old God’s Song," memory and reality blur. The mountain remembers, even when we prefer not to.
The Baile Hollow News: Celebration turns to Tragedy, Teen dies of Widow's Peak. Father of Peak Victim Arrested, Has the Goat Man Struck Again? Includes picture of a flame azalea, and photos of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When the plague strikes a small Appalachian town, survival depends on the town's outcasts and a research doctor who prefers science to people.

Think Camus’s The Plague meets Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five in this Lit/Sci-Fi/Gothic tale of small towns and people who don't fit in. #P2Ppit #W #Q
