You have come to the right place! Anchor charts are vibrant, visually engaging posters that are hung on the walls of the classroom. They not only beautify your classroom space but also serve as powerful learning tools. These handy charts display lessons, strategies, and key concepts in ways that are easily accessible to all students.

In the classroom, anchor charts also help students think better by making them analyse and put together information. This is because these charts often ask students to find connections between different things and see how information fits together.

Strategy anchor charts often include examples done together in class, as well as tools like graphic organisers or acronyms that students learned during the lesson. These charts remind students about the rules and expectations in the classroom, covering routines and procedures.

Anchor charts are not just decorations – they are meant to be referred to often, helping students recall and apply what they’ve learned independently. Posters, on the other hand, are usually pre-made or teacher-created visual aids designed to decorate the classroom or provide information.
