By displaying reading charts in your classroom, you equip students with tools to become active and engaged readers. These resources support students in navigating texts more effectively and enhance overall literacy development.

Character Traits Anchor Chart – 4-Chart Set teaching resource preview
Open-ended organizers

Character Traits Anchor Chart – 4-Chart Set

Two illustrated anchor charts teach how readers infer a story character's traits — through what characters say or think, do, feel, and how others describe them — each supplied in a completed poster version and a fill-in-the-blank interactive-notebook version. The chart pairs a four-category graphic organizer (thoughts/words, feelings, actions, and what others say) with a sentence frame, 'This character is (or has) ___. I know this because ___,' for students to justify a trait using text evidence. Teachers can print the completed posters for a bulletin board or hand out the blank versions for students to fill in as guided notes while reading a class novel or short story.

Nonfiction Text Structures Anchor Chart – Reading Set

A nonfiction text-structures anchor chart set explains five expository structures — problem and solution, sequencing, description, cause and effect, and compare and contrast — through a reference table of definitions and transition or key words such as 'therefore,' 'first, second, next,' and 'alike, different.' The set is provided as two matching pages: one fully filled-in chart for display and one cloze version with blanks so students can complete blanks in definitions and the closing note while the key-word column remains filled in. A closing note reminds students that a single text can contain more than one structure even when one dominates overall. Teachers can post the completed version as a permanent classroom reference and use the blank version as a formative check during a reading-structures lesson.
