How teachers use it

Writing walls and ELA anchor chart areas
Grammar mini-lessons students can reference mid-draft
Middle school language arts classrooms
Shared writing centers and tutoring rooms

Every definition and example is a Word text box, so you can swap in mentor-sentence examples from your current novel or unit. The color blocks make it easy to point to a part of speech during editing conferences without rewriting the chart by hand.

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.
