Questions about the Blends & Digraphs poster

Who is the Blends & Digraphs poster for?
Blends & Digraphs is filed under 2nd Grade (ages 7–8), 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 Blends & Digraphs poster?
When they stall, cover all but the first two letters. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Blends & Digraphs belongs on the wall where that literacy work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

Is the Blends & Digraphs poster free to download and print?
Yes. Blends & Digraphs downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 2nd 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 Blends & Digraphs poster print at?
Blends & Digraphs 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 Blends & Digraphs loses nothing.Printing guide
