Writing Poetry with Children Grade 1 - 6 Teacher Resource [Large Print]

This is a great tool for teaching children how to write poetry. Good explanations of the types of poetry and fun pages on which to write poetry. The kids keep asking, "When do we get to write more poetry?"

I homeschool my 12-year old son and it was difficult finding anything on line about poetry. This book covers couplets, triplets, quatrains, cinquains, haiku, limericks, shape poems and acrostics. It has plenty of template pages and we have both enjoyed working from this book. I wish I had reproduced the pages before we used them, as you could write different types of poems on each of the templates. I would highly recommend this book if you want to cover basic poetry.

My family is having lots of fun learning the forms in this book. Easy to understand and any child who can read and write can do it. This book helped me interest my children in writing, and sometimes I find them doing it on their own now!
