The Comprehension Coach
by Linda Hoyt
Some Coaches can tally the score of the game
Or take pride in a run that was fast
But for me with my books and my thoughts and my kids
It's a game that will last and last
We analyze authors and features
Good books are what we love best
We consider our strategies daily
In every subject and text
Meaning is the core of our reading
We know it's the heart of our game
I'm proud to be coach of these winners
I know that they feel the same
