Erin Blake, a teacher in Virginia, created an i-Ready characters bulletin board. She explains, "I put this bulletin board together in our cafeteria. It seems to really have the kids talking about i‑Ready. Hopefully, the excitement will translate into increased student engagement while they are on i-Ready! It was very easy to use the i-Ready resources to print coloring pages and then have the kids color the characters in with bright, bold markers. Then, I cut them out to use for the border. The banner is another i‑Ready resource that easily prints on a regular printer in three pieces. Lastly, I had the Meet the Cast printed as a poster and then laminated it so that it lasts in the cafeteria!"
