Pumpkin Poetry Pack {FREE}

Pumpkin Poetry Pack {FREE} | This Reading Mama

Today, we’re sharing our FREE Pumpkin Poetry Pack, perfect for K-2nd. If you’re not familiar with these, they feature original poetry by me and clip art from my 3rd grader. Younger children may also enjoy the poetry and activities, but may need extra support to do them. MBug (age 4) loves to watch us and sometimes participates in the poetry.

Pumpkin Poetry Pack

Here are some shots of NJoy (Kindergarten) with our Pumpkin Poetry Pack.

finding the rhyming words

The first thing we always do is slip the one-page poem into a plastic sleeve protector, read it together several times, and find the rhyming words.

 

On other days, he…

illustrating the pumpkin poem from mental images

illustrated the poem, after we’ve talked about the mental images in his head (a great comprehension strategy).

 

reconstructing the pumpkin poetry in pocket chart

constructed the poem on our tabletop pocket chart.

 

making rhyming words from pumpkin poetry

thought of other words that rhyme with the words in the poem.

 

making silly rhymes with pumpkin poetry

substituted rhyming words into the poem to make it silly.

 

substituting other silly words in the poem

Once we were finished with our silly rhymes, he took the blank cards from the rhyming activity, wrote random words on them and inserted them into the poem. His words didn’t rhyme or make any sense, but he was highly motivated and interested. He was spelling words and re-reading the poem over and over and I wasn’t about to stop him! 😉

 

*Disclaimer: The pumpkin poem that we used does contain the word Halloween. If you prefer not to have that word, I have provided another poem with an alternative line omitting the word Halloween.

    You just reminded me that I have a table top pocket chart. Need to get that out for a center soon. Thanks for all the work you do that helps all of us who are working with young children.
