About this resource
Description
Young readers meet many kinds of books, and learning to tell a story from a poem is one of the first genre skills they build. This story books and poems graphic organizer worksheet lets first graders read two short texts about the same topic and decide what makes each one a story or a poem. Because both books are about snow, children have to look at how each text is written, not just what it is about.
About This Worksheet
Book 1 is a short story about a snowman who starts to melt, with a character who talks, a problem and an ending. Book 2 is a four-line rhyming poem about a snow day. Each text sits in its own panel beside a colorful picture. Below the books, students read five sentences and fill in bubble 1 or bubble 2 to show which book each sentence tells about, such as which one has rhyming words and which one has a problem to solve. An answer key is included on the second page.
What’s Included
- One printable story books and poems graphic organizer worksheet
- A short snowman story and a rhyming snow poem with pictures
- Five fill-in-the-bubble sorting items
- An answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It teaches children the main features that set stories and poems apart, like characters, problems and rhyme.
- Comparing two texts on one topic builds careful, close reading habits.
- Short, decodable texts let first graders practice reading fluently on their own.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Read both books aloud first, clapping the rhyming words in the poem. After students finish, have them sort a stack of real storybooks and poetry books from your classroom library into two piles, just like the organizer. This 1st grade genres worksheet also works well in a literacy center or as a quick check after a genre lesson.
