Even though I’m usually all about maths, every now and then I love stepping into the world of literacy—and this resource, Vowel and Consonant Posters, was just too fun not to share!
Recently, some teachers at my school mentioned they were looking for a way to help their Grade 2 students understand the difference between vowels and consonants, especially when learning about spelling patterns and phonics rules. I jumped at the chance to create something bright, visual, and helpful—and that’s how this set of Vowel and Consonant Posters was born!
What’s Included in the Poster Set?
This vibrant, engaging resource includes everything you need to teach and display the difference between vowels and consonants:
🟠 Vowel Posters
A clear definition poster explaining what a vowel is
Five individual posters—one for each vowel (a, e, i, o, u)
A special poster just for the letter Y, showing when and how it makes a vowel sound
🟢 Consonant Posters
A definition poster for consonants
Four grouped consonant posters
Plus: cut-out consonant letters so you can create your own display around the definition
Teachers have the option to laminate the posters and display them as full sheets—or cut out the letters and arrange them creatively around the definition poster for an interactive bulletin board.
Real Teachers Are Loving These Posters!
Here’s what other educators have said about this resource:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These are colorful and so fun! The kids love them! Keeping them up all year round :)”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These were just perfect for my new resource room. Thank you! They are so colourful.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great visuals to have on hand, thanks!”
One of my favourite things about this set is the artwork—my very talented brother actually drew the clipart letters for me! They’re bold, playful, and absolutely kid-friendly. Want to use the clipart in your own projects? I’ve added the link below if you’re interested!
Why These Posters Work
Sometimes, students struggle to distinguish vowels from consonants, especially when they encounter letters like Y that don’t always play by the rules. These Vowel and Consonant Posters make those tricky concepts more accessible by pairing clear definitions with bright visuals and examples.
You can use them to:
Create a colourful phonics or spelling display
Introduce new spelling patterns
Support daily writing, word work, or literacy rotations
Build independence when students are sounding out or decoding unfamiliar words
