Figurative Language Anchor Charts – Onomatopoeia

Are you ready to get your kids excited about onomatopoeia?

The idea of onomatopoeia may be new for some, but it’s one of the best ways to help kids improve their writing skills. By adding fun words like ‘buzz,’ ‘woosh,’ ‘bang’ and ‘splash,’ we can make writing more enjoyable for our students.

These posters will help your students learn how to recognise examples of onomatopoeia in poetry and writing, which will help them improve their own writing skills. These onomatopoeia posters are a perfect classroom display to encourage and remind your students to add colourful and interesting words to their writing.
