A Child’s Introduction to Poetry (pictured) is the poetry spine we are using now. It comes with an audio CD so you can listen to the poems in the book because poetry is always meant to be read aloud.
The villanelle is a poetic form that I had never even heard of before using this book. It is a nineteen line poem made up of five triplets and a final quatrain. You can read some sample villanelles at Poetry Through the Ages.
For more information about teaching poetry, see poetry studies & poetry notebooks.
As always, I love to hear when you use the free printables from The Notebooking Fairy in your homeschool. If you send me photos, I will feature you in a Show Off post.
