I know, the mere thought of jazzing up the learning space while juggling a million other tasks can feel like trying to tame a wild octopus. You’re probably thinking, “Sure, but when do I have the time?” I hear you. But stick with me!
Understanding the alphabetic principle, the core of literacy, is non-negotiable, right? And what better way to embed this foundation than with an eye-catching display that sparks joy and curiosity? Think for a moment, how would you feel living in your classroom for hours, days, and months—don’t let it be boring.
You’re not just decorating; you want tools that speak volumes to your students, making every moment a potential ‘aha!’ That are as much a treat for the eyes as they are for the mind. These are as much a treat for the eyes as they are for the mind, fostering an organised, engaging learning environment that is crucial in classroom organization.

Transform your classroom walls and students’ desks into galleries of learning. Each letter is set against a Bohemian backdrop, making it delightful and educational. Let’s have a look at how these alphabet posters and desk strips can be used to enhance learning and creativity.

FREE Alphabet Posters: Beyond the Basics
Alphabet posters aren’t just for decoration. They are versatile tools that can be integrated into daily teaching practices. Here are some practical ways to utilise these Bohemian treasures:
- Story Starters: Use the letters as prompts for storytelling or creative writing. Perhaps the letter “M” could start a story about a “Mysterious Musician” or “N” for a “Noble Knight.” Let students’ imaginations run wild! These creative exercises bolster SEL by fostering empathy and understanding different perspectives through narrative exploration.
- Alphabet Artistry: Invite students to create letter designs. This could be a weekly project where each student works on a different letter, culminating in a complete classroom alphabet gallery. Art integration here encourages personal expression and creativity, key aspects of SEL and art education.
- Literacy Corners: Create a cosy corner in the classroom where alphabet posters are displayed with related books or objects. For instance, place a toy zebra under the letter “Z” or a model of the Earth under “E”. It’s a great way to visually link objects with letters and words, enhancing both literacy and environmental awareness through artful displays.
- Interactive Learning: Encourage students to associate each letter with a word. For example, “A” for “artistic” or “B” for “brave.” Have students come up with their words and create a classroom dictionary that reflects their creativity and understanding. This activity supports SEL by encouraging self-expression and enhancing social interactions among students.
Cultivating a Community of Learners
Alphabet posters also serve as a wonderful means to foster a sense of community. Consider these ideas:
- Classroom Collaboration: Let the class vote on their favourite designs or words associated with each letter. This not only encourages participation but also instils a sense of ownership and pride in their learning environment, a foundational element of SEL.
- Parent Participation: Invite parents to contribute by sharing objects or stories related to different letters. This enriches the learning experience and bridges the gap between home and school, promoting community involvement and enhancing SEL.
Matching Auslan alphabet posters
To make it easier to learn the Auslan alphabet, we have a set of Auslan alphabet posters that match our Boho alphabet posters. You can find a matching game in another article I wrote introducing the Boho style Auslan alphabet posters and desk chart.
With these matching materials, students can explore the relationship between Auslan and the written alphabet and find out how the two systems are connected. Learning can be made more interactive by using this visual association.
By promoting the parallel significance of the written alphabet and Auslan, our objective is to foster a respect for both modes of communication.
