About this teaching resource

'It is the joyous power of poetry that turns listeners into readers and readers into writers.' Charles Ghigna

Poetry packs quite a punch in the literacy-learning world. Give your students ready access to texts they will request and read again and again.

Poems ready to print and copy for shared and independent reading.                    

Includes:

  • A4 enlarge to A3 for Shared Reading Big Books
  • A5 versions for individual poetry collections and personal readers
  • A4 versions for your classroom library

Poetry:

  • Offers whole, continuous text enabling students to see how all aspects of the text work together to contribute to meaning
  • Expands children’s oral language abilities
  • Expands children’s written language abilities
  • Expands children’s content knowledge
  • Contributes to children’s social knowledge and skills

Check out our mini lessons for skills, strategies, and behaviours to model explicitly and to engage students in their use.
