A great teaching easel is one that students can see clearly and can be a stand for big books that students can see. It gives students a place to gather and collect their ideas. Shared reading and read alouds with big books gives students access to the print and gives them active involvement in whole group reading! However, when big books are not effectively displayed, it makes it a challenge for students to have that level of access.
Currently, we use magnets to hold large books up on the whiteboard but it doesn't give students an opportunity to handle the book, turn the pages, and utilize the words when they are independently working.
Often I try to bring the text closer to the students and have to use a chair as a book stand but that inevitably causes problems when the book wiggles or falls down. Help us find a strong reading rhythm with this teaching easel!
