How teachers use it

Elementary literacy corners and reading walls
Content-area vocabulary in science and social studies
ESL and dual-language classrooms
Intervention groups tracking high-frequency words

Print the poster, then add vocabulary cards under each letter as the unit grows. The letter tiles alternate blue, green and orange so students can find a letter from across the room. Update the theme line when you start a new unit instead of reprinting the whole wall.

For the sharpest result, print it on a poster printer at 300 DPI. Our printers are Canva-ready, Wi-Fi capable and Title I / Title IV-A eligible, with setup under 30 minutes and 500+ templates included. Need the printer, ink and paper together? See our poster maker packages. In-house prints typically run about $1.30–$2.84 per poster once you have paper and ink on hand. Schools can also request free sample posters by mail.

See it on the wall

A 24×36 poster is big enough to read from across a room or down a hallway. Print a test at 12×18 first if you want to check spelling and colors before you print the full size.
