Reading Clip Art for Literacy Centers by Grade
| Grade | Picture | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-K and K | Kawaii girl, owl sticker | Reading logs, reward charts |
| Grades 1 and 2 | Read to self girl, whisper phone | Center cards, bin labels |
| Grades 3 and 4 | Flashlight boy, open book outline | Challenge charts, book reports |
| Grades 5 to 8 | Student at desk | Study skills slides, note guides |
Keep one reader on each center card so kids can find their spot without reading the words. The teacher clipart set adds a guided reading table, and the alphabet clipart helps with early phonics centers.
Making a Reading Log Kids Will Use
Put one reader at the top and leave big boxes below. Young readers color a box per night, while older ones write the title and minutes read. Change the picture each month so the log feels new.
Each file is 1000 pixels square, about 3 inches wide at 300 dpi before it softens, so a reader fits a log header with room to spare. Print black and white readers on pastel paper to save ink. Send the log home in a folder with a bookmark, and swap in a fresh one from our book clipart page whenever a child fills a page.
