About this teaching resource

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

Bring joy to your listeners, readers and writers through poetry. We've sourced public domain poems to help create readers and writers who explore rhyme, rhythm, spelling patterns, letter knowledge, word meanings, punctuation; enable practice in fluency, expression, phrasing, visualising, predicting, connecting; and provide inspiration, motivate poetic innovations, explore literary devices and create writers.

Create a Big Book of poems from our collection for use during Shared Reading. (A4, enlarge to A3) Provide students with small versions of the same poems to enable independent practice.(A5, A4) Leave pages available for student illustrations, enabling them to fully engage in creating deep meaning.

For more ways to use poems during Shared Reading and Writing explore our mini lessons.

Poems for children help them celebrate the joy and wonder of their world. Humorous poems tickle the funny bone of their imaginations. Charles Ghigna
