Theme Anchor Chart Free Download!

One of my most popular-pinned images from the blog is the theme anchor chart I posted a couple of years ago:
I have had tremendous success teaching theme using this anchor chart and the methods described in this post.  BUT, like a fool I have been making this chart every. single. year. on chart paper.  Don't get me wrong--I LOVE chart paper (almost as much as I love my Mr. Sketch markers...), but this year it dawned on me.  Just type it up and print it on the poster printer, silly!  Duh.  I'm lucky enough to be in a building with a poster printer, so I finally just made a poster, laminated it, and hopefully will use it year after year.  I also plan to print several single-sheets of the anchor chart to put in plastic sleeves and use at the guided reading table.  Why didn't I think of this sooner??
Ahhh, that's better!

I have uploaded the poster pdf to my Teachers Pay Teachers store--download the file here.  As always, this download is 100% FREE!  Seriously, we are teachers--we gotta help each other out!  I know I need all the help I can get in this job!  That's why I will never charge for a TPT product--I share because I care. ;)  (Totally no offense to other teachers who sell their products--we gotta earn a living, I get that.)

While you've visiting my store, check out my other products too, like my Guided Reading Masters Pack or Word Work Activity Pack!

Anyways, hope the poster is helpful!

  2. Great idea here! I used to teach, and I always appreciated when I took the time to make something "permanent" by making it formal, saving it to the computer, and laminating a hard copy. Very useful chart you have. :)

  3. The poster theme, colors and design elements should support this message when making a distinguished poster.
