Did you see Katie’s post about building a love of reading at home and in the classroom? Well, when I saw the Reading Alert Bulletin Board, I just knew I had to make one also! I love the thought of gathering pictures of the students reading at home. I didn’t need to change anything up, so I pretty much copied Katie’s board as closely as I could!
These giant googly eyes are from Hobby Lobby. If you don’t have a craft store nearby, you can also pick them up on Amazon HERE! I also picked up a couple of large bows 🙂
The pictures of students reading at home will be layered on top of the yellow paper as the year goes on.

Thank you for the tutorial! I love the bulletin board ideas and I created mine as I followed your instructions. You rock!
I have followed you, okay lurked, for several years. I finally have enough courage to express my respect and admiration for you as a fellow educator. Your enthusiasm and gift for creativity has enabled me to create a classroom where students are excited to learn and actively engaged. Not only has your bulletin board ideas and helpful teacher tips brought smiles to me and my students' faces but your Grammar Bootcamp and Rooted in Reading have helped me extend and supplement my curriculum. As Shannon said, “You rock!”
This is super cute!!! =)
I made your bulletin board last year and it turned out amazing! But, when I got my new computer in May, I forgot to check the names of the fonts that I downloaded for it. The link in this post takes me to a newer board.
