This limerick anthology and comprehension pack contains over 20 pages of original, child-friendly, and humorous limerick poems, alongside differentiated comprehension resources for beginner, intermediate, and expert limerick learners.
I made these resources when I was writing a limerick scheme of learning a while back - I was disappointed with the lack of age-appropriate limericks available (that were suitable for KS1 and KS2 children, and still met the structural requirements of the poetic form). Therefore I began designing this anthology - from fashion-loving crocodiles, to sun-bathing penguins, to crime-fighting fish, to geese with anger management issues, all of the limericks here have gone down really well with all of the children that I have taught.
The comprehension tasks enable students to meet a number of the key expectations for Reading within the new National Curriculum. They focus upon comprehension of key elements such as interpretation of subject matter, analysis of language, and comments upon structural organisation.
The anthology contains a number of images, all of which are licensed for commercial use. Citations of these can be found on the final page of the anthology.
Many Thanks!
