An acrostic poem is fun and easy to write. 

Acrostic poems take a word and use the letters of the word to begin each line.
 


Let's
 

out an acrostic poem using the word school.

September starts off a new school year
Computers, gym, art, music, and library class too
Homework in reading is my favorite
Our class has so much fun
Our school is number one

Learning never stops

As you can see when we write an acrostic poem we:
1.  Write our word vertically ( going down).
2.  Each line relates to the subject we are writing about.
3.  Each line of our poem begins with the word's first letter.
4.  Our poem tells a simple story.

Practice writing an acrostic poem of your own.
