High School Reading Bulletin Board Ideas

"You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." ~ Ray Bradbury

Make your ELA classroom pop with this set of 25 quote posters about literature! Each 7.5 x 7.5 (square) PDF poster contains a quote from a famous figure imposed over a stunning photograph that will give a fresh look to your ELA classroom. The square format is reminiscent of Instagram and makes for an eye-catching arrangement on your wall or bulletin board. I suggest laminating these posters so that you can use them to inspire your students to love reading all year long!

Two sizes are also included: letter size pages (with two, three, and four pieces to a page) and tabloid (11" X 17") sheets for interactive lessons. Use on the floor, magnetic board, tables, and more!

We have used these for YEARS to reinforce learning. We incorporate sticky it notes to chart stories and to create new ones. Ours are printed in all colors, and students choose their favorite to create their plot diagram. Our students enjoy the larger format, too, rather than small pieces that have to be cut / glued.
