Large calendars for your classroom

Could your classroom use a large calendar, or a smaller calendar or planner with large print for students with low vision?

Now is the time to buy. These are the best three recommended large print calendar choices for you to consider.

For sheer size, nothing beats the Mammoth Calendar. It makes it easy to see across the room, and gives you lots of writing room to keep track of class events. Consider hanging one in your main office to keep track of school trips and other special events.
For students that need large print, consider the Big Letters, Big Numbers calendar or Monster Grid.

You may find that the student can benefit from their own calendar to keep track of school schedules, assignments or trips.

With a closed size of only 12" by 12", it's easy for low vision students to take with them too.

While supplies last, the Big Letters, Big Numbers calendars are on sale for only $ 9.99 US - so act now!
