Spring: An Alphabet Acrostic

Posted by Cindy on July 19, 2011

Spring: An Alphabet Acrostic by Steven Schnur is another lovely find for our Book Buzz – especially if you’re hoping to inspire your NaturExplorer to write more poetry in his or her nature journal!

For every letter of the alphabet, there is an acrostic poem written on the topic of spring. Not all of the poems are nature related, but many are. If your children are like mine, acrostic poems often turn into “one worders” for each main letter of the acrostic. These are wonderful examples of how to expand the acrostic to be much more!

Song-filled ark of

Twigs and grass.

Ah, the simple beauty that can be shared through a poem! This book is appropriate to read with any child, but those who are 2nd grade and above are most suited for transferring the poetry style to their nature notebooks.
