Synonym Posters for Writing Center | Classroom Decor that Teaches

    Brighten your classroom writing center 

with these colorful posters.  



classroom posters, synonyms
Grab these posters HERE


You can refer to these posters in the ELA classroom. Identifying synonyms and choosing new words for common words in writing.    Each poster is titled with a common word in writing, a list of synonyms to choose for that word and 

a picture that shows the meaning.


There are 40 posters:

  • angry, awake
  • big
  • clean, cold, cry
  • difficult, dirty
  • easy, fast, fun, funny
  • get, go, good
  • happy, healthy, hot, hungry
  • laugh, looked, loud, love
  • nice, peaceful, quiet
  • sad, said, short, sick, slow, small, smart, stop, surprised
  • tall, think, tired
  • went, worry

Synonyms can help students learn to choose the right words for the right context, which is especially important when acquiring writing skills.   When students have a broader vocabulary, they can understand more complex texts and express themselves more precisely in their own writing.  By teaching synonyms, you can help students avoid using the same words over and over again, which can make their writing feel repetitive and dull.



Your students will become aware of word choice and word meaning. They will learn to use more words and acquire a new writing skill to grab the attention of their readers.  

Post these bright and colorful posters in your writing center.... 
sit back, admire and enjoy the compliments.
