Story or Poem? A Snail Day

Listen. Tell which text is a story and which is a poem.

Listen to two texts

Your teacher reads a story and a poem. Listen to how they sound.

Sam and the Snail

Sam found a snail on a stone. "Hello, snail," said Sam.

The snail hid in its shell. Sam sat still and waited.

Soon the snail peeked out. Sam smiled.

Little Snail

Little snail, slow and small,
Creeping up the old stone wall.
Slip, slide, up so high,
Waving to the sky.
