Poetry is a wonderful way to practice your reading fluency. Many poems have Rhythm and Rhyme which can make them fun to listen to and fun to read!!

Poems do not need to rhyme but I love when they do! I think it makes poetry fun to read and write! Watch this video and then try to make some rhymes of your own! Can you make a triple rhyme?
Acrostic Poetry
Kenn Nesbitt's, Poetry4Kids website is one of my favorite spots to visit when I want to learn about poetry or just want to read or listen to some wonderful poems. Watch the video below on how to create an Acrostic Poem. After you watch it, try one out yourself! I watched this with my sons and we all wrote our own acrostic poems about SPRING! You can even add some illustrations!

Below are some Spring Acrostic pages you can print out and use, but you can easily create your own by just using a piece of white paper and your creativity!
