Created for modern primary and elementary classrooms, resources from the North America Classroom Decor collection combine Pete Cromer's iconic artworks with purposeful educational design to create inspiring and organised learning spaces. These printable teacher resources have been thoughtfully created to support inclusive classrooms, enhance organisation, and create visually cohesive learning spaces.

Alphabet displays can continue to serve a meaningful purpose beyond the early years by fostering curiosity, building background knowledge, and creating opportunities for rich classroom discussions. These Upper Grades Alphabet Posters have been designed to maintain the visual consistency of your classroom decor while introducing students to a diverse range of North American wildlife and natural wonders.

Featuring 26 Pete Cromer North America artworks, each poster pairs a letter of the alphabet with an engaging animal, plant, or nature-inspired connection. Rather than focusing on phonics instruction, the posters are designed to spark inquiry, encourage questioning, and provide opportunities for students to explore geography, habitats, adaptations, ecosystems, and conservation through authentic research and discussion.

This teacher resource includes:

• 26 alphabet posters (A–Z)
• Pete Cromer North America artworks
• Uppercase and lowercase letters
• Format: PowerPoint
