Helping Children Write Poems


There are many types of poems. KS1 children are introduced to poetry and shown how to write a poem.

The Primary Literacy Framework requires children to focus on poetry right up to KS2, Year 6.

Using a writing frame can help children write poems by themselves. Some poems have rhyming words, others don't.


Writing poems can be a wonderful way for kids to express themselves creatively.
Here are some simple tips to help them get started:

  • Encourage Creativity:
    Let kids know that there are no right or wrong answers in poetry. Encourage them to let their imagination run wild and express their thoughts and feelings in their own unique way.



  • Explore Different Forms:
    Introduce kids to various forms of poetry, such as haiku, acrostic, or free verse. Each form has its own rules and structures, which can inspire creativity and experimentation.

  • Provide Inspiration:
    Help kids find inspiration for their poems by exploring nature, art, music, or everyday experiences. Encourage them to observe the world around them and write about what they see, hear, feel, and imagine.

    - Find and get ideas for new places and get discounts.

  • Play with Language:
    Encourage kids to play with language by experimenting with words, sounds, and rhythms. Encourage children to use metaphors, similes, alliteration and other poetic devices to add depth and richness to their poems.

  • Write Together:
    Write poems together with kids to show them that poetry is a collaborative and enjoyable activity. Share your own poems and experiences with them, and celebrate their creativity and accomplishments.



  • Provide Feedback:
    Offer positive and constructive feedback to help kids improve their poems. Encourage them to revise and refine their work, but also let them know that their voice and perspective are valuable.



  • Celebrate Success:
    Celebrate kids' achievements and successes in writing poetry. Display their poems in a special place, share them with family and friends, or even organize a poetry reading or performance.

From the kitchen table

From parents who already print at home.

Real parents, phonics through to SATs.

"Teach My Kids is a fantastic resource. We use the work sheets to reinforce the Maths and English that our children, James 9 and Katie 8, are learning at school. They are ideal for when we have a spare 10 – 15 minutes, and also give us as parents the opportunity to see how much our kids know!

As and when the work sheets are completed, I log in and tick them as completed, so it’s clear which topics have been covered. I try to do 2 - 4 of worksheets a week and feel that they are of great benefit to both our children.

I would definitely recommend ‘Teach My Kids’, it’s fantastic value for money and if you have any questions or queries these are answered promptly."

Emma Robinson

"I have found the ‘Teach my Kids’ website to be very helpful and informative. The worksheets met my children’s individual needs at a time when I was struggling with ways in which to support them. They were very easy to follow have made a real impact on their confidence in Maths and English.

The website is clear and well thought out and easy for anyone to follow. Any queries are responded to promptly. A great website for parents!"
