Anchor chart maker

A poster for a letter or a number

Make an anchor chart. A letter anchor chart shows the capital and small letter, pictures that start with its sound and a line to trace. A number anchor chart shows the numeral, its word, a ten frame, tally marks and that many pictures, so a child sees one number in every way at once. Print one, or a whole set, and hang it where your child works.

What an anchor chart is
