Synopsis

Spotlight on Poetry: What Kind of Poem? offers an experience of the wide range of different forms and styles which poetry can take, from riddles to sonnets, limericks to haiku, cinquains to nonsense verse, and so on. Spotlight on Poetry: What Kind of Poem? 2 is suitable for ages 7-9 (Year 3-4/P4-5).

The What Kind of Poem? collections feature a lively and diverse range of different poetic forms and styles including riddles, limericks, sonnets, haiku, cinquains, acrostics, epitaphs, shape poems, alphabet poems, conversations, diaries, monologues, lists, word play and poems that play with sound and invent new or nonsense words.

Each collection is available as both a pupil reader and as a Big Book. The readers contain all the material in the Big Book plus some additional material, for example additional poems or full versions of poems that appear as extracts in the Big Book.

There are 3 levels in each strand, corresponding to Years 1/2 , Years 3/4 and Years 5/6. The poems have been carefully chosen to appeal to the age ranges.

The collections meet the range of objectives for poetry and the National Literacy Strategy as specified in the Literacy Framework. They have been selected by David Orme and Brian Moses, two well-known children’s poets.

Each level is accompanied by Teacher’s Notes that link poems to objectives in the National Literacy Framework, providing creative teaching ideas and photocopiable Activity Masters.

There are two other strands in the Spotlight on Poetry series: ‘Poems Around the World’, and ‘Classic Poems’.
