⌄

A grown-up reads the chart aloud, then the class finds each word in a favorite poem. Keep it up all of Poetry Month as a word wall for poems.

What is the Poem Words Anchor Chart?

⌄

One poster with 6 boxes for line, stanza, rhythm, rhyme, alliteration and onomatopoeia. Each box has a simple meaning, a picture and a one-line example, like Sam's silly snail slides slowly and Buzz! goes the bee.

Can I use the Poem Words Anchor Chart at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

How many 1st Grade to 3rd Grade Poetry Month resources are there?

⌄

3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 47 Poetry Month resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our Poetry Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are Poetry Month resources for?

⌄

These are written for 1st Grade to 3rd Grade students, roughly ages 6-9. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Can I use these Poetry Month resources for homeschool?

⌄

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 3rd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
