15 Quality Texts for Children Featuring Verse and Rhyme

Poetry is part of the Australian Curriculum and, equally importantly, a fun, engaging and powerful way to improve students' literacy and joy of reading, writing, listening and performing. PETAA has put together some of our favourite quality rhyming texts, comprising picture books and verse novels for older readers. The list is organised by year group, and we've highlighted the themes contained in each text - they're all different, even though each of the texts have their use of poetry and rhyme in common.
