Amazing resource, this pack covers everything we are looking at with poetry in our year 2. The performance poetry pack is outstanding with a poem for every possible reading ability. The children have had a terrific time with the poems.
This was so useful with my mixed age KS2 class.
The choice of poems was varied and very suitable for the age. Thanks
Fantastic for my multistaged group.
Colours language made it engaging and easy to understand.
With everything from banners, cover pages and definitions to examples, checklists, performance tips and rhyming words this is an excellent resource! I love having the examples of various poems to give the students exemplars of the types they are writing, plus they make a great centrepiece to the students examples within the classroom. Excellent resource and a brilliant website! Thank you.
This is an incredible pack with an enormous variety of resources. For my own pupils, I particularly liked the rhyming word activities which they could do in pairs and groups. Also really useful are the poetry prompt questions which are ideal as a starter and for some more reluctant poetry readers!
A fantastic pack for my mixed ability class. This pack helped them easily to understand the different types of poetry. Thanks!
Once again, another fabulous pack to enhance classroom learning. Well done Teaching Packs!
A useful resource! Especially like the poems to perform items and the huge amount of resources in the poetry prompt planners - great visuals to get kids thinking!
This pack was a life saver this week. I am a student teacher and would never have had the time to source all of this for my working wall. It has a bit of everything and is very well thought out.
This pack was brilliant! It is attention grabbing and my children really enjoyed using it. The explanations and examples were very clear. It was easily accessible by all the children regardless of ability.
