Patterns in Poems
This worksheet allows students to demonstrate their understanding of text features and poetic devices. It is the perfect accompaniment to the Foundation Patterns in Words Unit. Students will identify syllables, alliteration and rhyme from a well know nursery rhyme.
Use as a teacher led, whole class or literacy group activity.
