Second Grade Poetry Packet - Simple Poems - Reading Activity - Short Poems

Bring poetry and back to basics with this collection of poems and activities that correlate with Common Core Standards. I created my own simple poems, so that I could really focus on the poetry elements that I needed to teach.

I feel that students should start with the basics, and then they can move on to longer, deeper, and more difficult poems.

In this packet, the students will answer questions and respond to the poems. Students will have the opportunity to create their own poem using the skills that they learned throughout the packet.

Elements of poetry:

Alliteration

Rhythm/Meter

Rhyme Pattern

Stanza

Repetition

Included:

Packet cover sheet with poetry terms

5 poems with questions

Student poem page

Answer keys
