Familiarize children with this poem. Then read it aloud, asking them to say each describing word with you.
Pizza is my favorite food.
With red sauce on the top.
When I eat a warm piece,
I just don't want to stop.
I love the gooey soft cheese
That sits on the red sauce.
And my pizza's crunchy crust
Is very hard to toss.
Pepperoni on the top
Can be a spicy treat Yummy, yummy, pizza!
Let's go, it's time to eat!
