About the Poetry Comprehension Reading Homework

This resource contains 4 poems written at two levels. 4th/5th grade level and 3rd/4th grade level.

One poem is meant to be used for an entire week.

There is a different assignment each day with the same poem. The students will revisit the poem each day to complete the daily assignment.

This will support a deeper understanding of the poem and provide the student a chance to practice close reading.

There are 4 options for the daily assignments (on pages 5-8) for you to choose from based on your students' needs. A blank directions page, if you want to write in your own directions for the daily assignments, can be found on page 9.

For each option, Monday through Wednesday are general, open-ended responses to the text, and Thursday is a set of text-dependent questions specific to each poem. The questions in this set are all short answer.

Follow these steps to assign the review work:

1.Choose and print the directions and passage level you want to use.

2.Print the Thursday comprehension questions.

3.Staple the three pages and you have a week’s worth of review ready for your students.

An answer key with suggested answers is included.
