- What’s on the Verbs poster?

- Who is the Verbs poster for?
- Verbs is filed under 1st Grade (ages 6–7), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting literacy, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
- When should you use the Verbs poster?
- Act one out and let them name it. Then try acting out 'is'. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Verbs belongs on the wall where that literacy work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Verbs?
- Adjectives, Two-Letter Starts and The CH Sound sit alongside Verbs in the 1st Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AdjectivesTwo-Letter StartsThe CH Sound
- Is the Verbs poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Verbs downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 1st Grade set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Verbs poster print at?
- Verbs is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Verbs loses nothing.Printing guide
