Keep your students on schedule and organized with these handy labels with visual cues.

One of the best ways to help indirectly improve literacy in your classroom is to immerse students in the text rich environment. Not that your classroom should be the Time Square of literacy, but you should have clear delineations of fresh vocabulary, sight words (if age appropriate), and key concepts and themes. One thing that can help improve this environment even further is labeling common features of your classroom. The one thing this does for certain is reduce the number of questions on the part of students the label clearly indicates what is what in your classroom. Below you will see previously prepared teacher labels, but we also have some tips for creating and using your own teacher labels. My first piece of advice is to use both upper and lower case letters. I would completely avoid writing anything in cursive or other forms of script writing. Make sure to check your spelling and that all the characters (letters, numbers, symbols, etc.) be the same font size and style. That should get you headed in the right direction.

Reinforce your reading lessons with these classroom picture labels. Each label has the word of the object or activity, so students will start to associate and recall how to spell and pronounce them as they go about their daily classroom activities. This set of labels helps separate art and craft supplies, identifies rooms, subjects, and common household objects, keeps track of scheduled events, organizes school work and equipment, and more! Your students will have an easy time helping you keep your classroom neat and tidy when everything is clearly labeled.
