Print Sources Postcard from SP Bear

Spelling, reading, and writing
(So closely linked)
Walk hand in hand
(Bound subjects, me thinked)
Like books and their pages.
To learn more about
Spelling rages and stages,
Peruse these sources
From word-wise sages.
The more you read,
The more you know.
The more you know,
The more you grow
As teacher; students, too.
Take the trip together.
Life-long learners do.
