Examples of Classroom Literacy Materials
This is a list of literacy materials that may be found in the classroom, but not a required list of items. Many of the materials listed are free or low in cost. The expectation is that this list will be used to identify the literacy materials a teacher may already have available in the classroom. It is not to be used as a checklist or shopping list.
