Poetry Book

Choose a theme and a reading level, get an illustrated book of rhymes and short poems.

Poetry week arrives and the anthology in the cupboard has the same six poems it had in 1998. Name a theme (the ocean, night time, our class pets), pick a reading level and say how many poems you want. Out comes an illustrated book of short rhymes and poems on that theme, each with its own picture and short lines that suit reading aloud. Print it on A4 for a class set, or make one for a child who likes the sound of words. Rhyme and rhythm come through on most poems; if one falls flat, generate again with a tighter theme.
