The provided source materials focus on educational resources, printable materials, and library display concepts offered by a creator known as "The Book Wrangler." The information is derived from promotional and informational pages related to the creator's online presence and store. The content is primarily targeted at educators, librarians, and parents seeking tools for classroom and library engagement. The available data does not contain information about free product samples, promotional offers, no-cost trials, brand freebies, or mail-in sample programs in the categories of beauty, baby care, pet products, health, food, or household goods. Consequently, the following article details the types of educational printables and display resources described in the source documents.
The Book Wrangler operates an online presence that includes a link tree, a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) store, and a Weebly site dedicated to library displays. The creator's TPT store offers over 210 educational resources. The Weebly site, titled "Our Lively Library," provides detailed instructions and printable materials for creating various book displays and educational activities for school or classroom libraries.
The printables and resources available are designed to be downloaded and used for creating physical displays and activities. The source materials specify that some printables are formatted as .pdf files in 11x17 format, intended to be printed as posters using the "poster" option. Others are provided in 8.5x11 format as Google Slides, requiring users to log into a Google account to make a copy for resizing or editing. The creator advises downloading .pdf files to a computer before printing.
A variety of display themes and accompanying printables are described. One display, titled "Block Characters Flip Card Display," features simple block and color designs of pop culture figures intended to spark student discussion. It is noted that this display is not necessarily book-related, as the creator emphasizes that not every library display needs to be centered on books. Another display is the "Enneagram Flip Card Display," which pairs the different Enneagram personality types with book recommendations, aiming to provide insight into personality and reading preferences.
A "Wicked Book Duel Book Display" is mentioned, created to celebrate the release of the Wicked movie. The source indicates that this display was inspired by or adapted from a version by The Book Wrangler, with the provided materials including a backdrop, bookmarks, and signage. The "Sunrise on the Reading Display" is noted as a response to the release of the young adult book Sunrise on the Reaping, suggesting displays can be timely and tied to current literary events.
The materials also include specific activity sets and educational tools. For example, a set of "Frida Kahlo, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Mae Jemison, Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie, Yayoi Kusama, Rosie the Riveter, Jane Goodall, Malala Yousafzai, Gertrude Ederle, and Gret" posters is available. These are described as 8.5 x 11 posters that can be combined with "BOOK PEEKERS" (images or words peeking out from between pages) to create an instant book display. The source lists additional display themes that can be created using the posters, such as "I Love the 80s," "Culinary Chronicles: A Feast on Every Page," "From Bookshelves to Blockbusters," "Tissues Recommended: Grab a Book and a Tissue for These Tear-Jerkers," and "Read It Yourself, Do It Yourself: Craft Your Own Adventure with these DIY Bo."
Another educational resource is a novel unit for Inside Out and Back Again. This unit is described as not intended for use in a specific order and includes skills and concepts such as building background knowledge, using context clues, vocabulary activities, setting, determining theme, figurative language, double timeline, sensory language, visualizing, analyzing character, character traits, text evidence, over 70 text-dependent questions, fluency, summarizing, comparing, and a word association game.
Alphabet cards are also available in two sets. Set 1 includes upper and lowercase letters with a bold colorful graphic illustration and a word beginning with that letter. Set 2 includes upper and lowercase letters with a photograph and a word beginning with that letter. The source also mentions 88 word wall cards, which may include just the word or the word with its definition.
A math activity related to the metric system is described, designed to help meet fifth-grade math common core standards. It uses the mnemonic "King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk" to aid in converting measurements. The activity includes 24 task cards that can be cut apart for centers or used as a single piece for assessment.
An interactive "Guess the Book" bulletin board set is detailed. This set challenges students to identify books using only zoomed-in, ultra-close-up images of their covers. It includes 40 printable cards, each with a mystery close-up on the front and the book title revealed underneath when lifted. The source lists some of the included titles, such as The War That, though the list appears incomplete in the provided text.
Directed drawing activities are offered for various themes, including "May the Fourth" (Star Wars-related) and winter holiday stories. The "Let's Draw" activities guide students step-by-step to create drawings of characters, with the goal of increasing confidence as illustrators. These sets include characters from specific themes (10 characters for the space theme) and a set of frequently asked questions about directed drawing.
Additionally, the source describes "shelf shout out cards" that are double-sided and slide between book spines on shelves. These cards are intended to encourage students to pick up books that may not get much attention. The set currently includes 20 cards and comes with detailed printing instructions.
A "Summer Reading Activities" packet is also mentioned. This packet includes a note on summer reading, three reading lists (picture books, chapter books, and a blank list for user titles), all hyperlinked and available in color and black-and-white versions. It also includes activities like "Walk A Mile In Someone Else's Shoes" for picture books and chapter books, and a "Choose Your Own Summer Reading Playlist" with book suggestions.
The source materials indicate that the creator provides freebies through a Google Drive link, though the specific contents of that drive are not detailed in the provided chunks. The creator also maintains an Etsy shop and a Bonfire store for t-shirts, and accepts payments via Venmo and PayPal. The focus of the available information, however, remains on the educational printables and display resources.
