If you’re currently teaching a unit on poetry, you need look no further than our awesome collection of poetry resources to help you through the term!
All of our amazing poetry resources were written by our very own resident poet and teacher, Steph! She’s carefully crafted a collection of original, level-appropriate and curriculum-aligned poems and accompanying activities.
“I wrote poems that children can relate to. Each poem demonstrates a different poetic device, and includes teacher resources linking to the curriculum codes. ” – Steph, Resource Producer.
Our talented designer, Fleur, worked on the design elements of the poetry resources, bringing Steph’s poems to life!
“After reading each of the poems and brainstorming some ideas I sketched my design concepts and began building each of the designs. This involved grabbing pre-existing elements from our designer’s database of illustrations as well as creating new elements as needed.” – Fleur, Designer.
Hear Steph speak passionately about her work on our poetry resources:
