Acrostic Poetry - Year 5 and Year 6

Acrostic Poetry – Complete Year 5/6 English Lesson

Introduce your UKS2 pupils to the art of acrostic poetry with this engaging, fully resourced lesson. Designed for Year 5 and Year 6, the session begins by exploring three clear examples of acrostic poems, helping learners identify structure, layout, language features, and poetic devices.

Pupils then move on to planning and writing their own acrostics using a scaffolded, step-by-step approach. The lesson encourages collaboration, discussion, and creativity, with opportunities to write both as a class and independently.

The resource includes Bronze, Silver, and Gold level tasks to support differentiation and ensure all learners can succeed.

Perfect for a standalone poetry lesson or as part of a wider poetry unit.
