Homeschool Book Worms In-Person
Get ready to meet new friends and embark on epic adventures while exploring a different book each month.
April is National Poetry Month! Dive into novels in verse, where stories are told through the rhythm and "white space" of poetry. This unique format builds reading confidence and helps kids connect deeply with the emotional "heart" of a story.
Featured books for April :
Gone Fishing by Tamera Will Wissinger | Recommended Reading Level: Ages 6–9
Synopsis: This ALA Notable Book follows Sam’s fishing trip, which is interrupted by his "pesky" little sister. Each chapter uses a different poetic form (like haiku or limerick) to tell a funny, relatable story. It’s the perfect "gateway" book for younger readers to discover that poetry is fun and accessible.
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander | Recommended Reading Level: Ages 10–14
Synopsis: Winner of the Newbery Medal, this high-octane story uses "slam poetry" style verse to follow twin brothers who are stars on the basketball court. It’s a fast-paced, rhythmic journey through family, change, and growing up, showing that poetry can be as energetic and exciting as a championship game.
