Figures of Speech and Poetic Devices Free Printable Mini-posters

April 11, 2013 By Jimmie Quick 13 Comments


Poetic Devices Minibook for Homeschool Language Arts @jimmielanley Jimmie's Collage

My Poetic Devices Reference Minibook is wildly popular thanks to Pinterest pins. Unfortunately, the original printable I used to make that minibook has been removed from the Internet.

So I made my own version of it with twelve different poetic devices or figures of speech. These printables can be use in many different ways. Print one per page for mini-posters. Print two per page for notebooking pages. Print four per page for memory cards or a minibook. Click to download for free.

In my original post, I printed four pages per sheet, laminated them, and connected them with a paper brad in the corner. Later I switched out the brad for a metal ring [affiliate link] which made the pages easier to flip.

For my version of the printable mini-posters, I left the example section blank. It’s always better for children to make their own notes than read someone else’s. So with my figures of speech printables, you can add in an example of each device taken from something you are reading or let your child create her own.

That original post is now three years old, and we still refer to these figures of speech regularly. Of course, understanding these devices is foundational to understanding all great literature. Most recently we have been using Walch Toolbook Series: Prose And Poetry as our guide for this topic. It is a good fit for middle school and high school students.

    Thanks, Jimmie — I just subscribed and then downloaded. Just to make you aware – the box below the download button didn’t show up for me in Chrome, but when I went into Firefox it worked?

      What happens after you input your email address? It should take you immediately to another page with a link and image where you can download it.

    Hi Jimmie,
    When I registered it brought me to the page with the freebie downloads to choose from, but, this one is not listed there. I registered again and the same thing happened 🙁 I love your site and am new to CM. Lots of useful information! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂

    Hi! I also just subscribed but can’t seem to find the download for this link. It took me to the page of freebies, but not the poetic devices. Is there something else I can do?

      You have to subscribe using the form embedded IN this very post, not the one in the sidebar. Do it again right here. (It won’t sign you up twice; the system is smart.)

        Hmmm… I did that, but it still didn’t work; it just said that I’d already subscribed and didn’t let me do anything else. I’m not really sure what’s going wrong b/c I’m usually able to download things without assistance. : ) Anything you think I should try again?

          I just tested it by signing up w/ the same email twice and it works fine (both times). Try this.
          If the FB profile log in is showing up in the box, hover over the box w/ your name and x it out. Then manually enter your name and email. You will then be on the download page.
