⭐️These close reading poems are perfect for teaching first graders poetry structure. This unit reviews line breaks and stanzas. This packet is designed to specifically fit 1st grade Florida B.E.S.T standard ELA.1.R.1.4, but can be used by anyone teaching about basic poetry structure.

⭐️Includes an anchor chart, guided practice, 10 age-appropriate poems with standards based questions, and two assessments.

⭐️If you do not use Florida Best, RL.1.4 Sensory Words and Feelings is available. Both packets contain many of the same passages, so do not purchase both.
