Are you looking for chart stands for anchor charts? Chart stands are great space savers for classrooms. Most classrooms have cinder blocks and it is difficult to hang heavy pocket charts on them. Anchor charts need to hang from a rack in order to easily flip over to a new page. Classroom chart stands can be single racks, double racks, clothing racks, easel whiteboards, or PVC DIY racks.

Chart Stands for Anchor Charts and Pocket Charts

Clothes racks v.s. anchor chart stands: This Whitmore adjustable rolling garment rack is easy to assemble. Since it is built to hold up garments, you know that it can handle anchor charts or large pocket charts. I have found that the garment racks are cheaper than the ‘made for classrooms’ brands and they are just as strong or even stronger. If you’re teaching on a budget, this one will give you the best value for money.

Hang two charts at a time: There are classroom chart stands that have a double rack like this versatile Double pocket chart stand from Carson Dellosa. Some pocket charts are very long, so the higher rack is usually for a tall pocket chart and the lower rack can be for a shorter pocket chart or an anchor chart. It comes with the rings and rolls on wheels so you can just turn it to show either the pocket chart or anchor chart that you need to use. It also has a storage shelf at the base.

Use a regular drying rack for clothes: If you want an anchor chart stand with more horizontal storage racks, use a clothes drying rack. This can be used as a back up stand that is strictly for storing your anchor charts.

Hang anchor charts on whiteboard easel stands: An easel stand doubles as a white board and as a stand for your anchor charts or flip charts. The second easel whiteboard has hooks for an acnchor chart pad but the teacher prefers to hang a magnetic curtain rod on it for her anchor charts.

Use a multipurpose chart stand for anchor charts, whiteboards, and storage: This multipurpose stand is extra wide and has two whiteboards, on the front and back, anchor chart hooks, and lots of large storage bins at the bottom. If you have less space, there is a much smaller stand with one whiteboard and it has hooks for the anchor chart pad, and an adjustable bar at the base to accomodate different storage tubs.

Use an anchor chart wall hanger: If you’re teaching from home and you do not have the space for a whiteboard easel or anchor chart stand, you can hang your anchor charts from your wall using this hanger made by the Post-It brand. This will free up your floor space and the hanger is designed to fit different sizes of anchor charts.

Use strong magnetic hooks: If you do not have the space for a chart stand, hang your anchor chart from your whiteboard or wall area with hooks. These strong magnetic hooks can easily hold the weight of a large anchor chart.

More chart stands for anchor charts will be added as I find them. Have you discovered a new way to hang up your anchor charts and pocket charts? If you have, please share about it in the comments. Teachers are the ones who innovate and think up the most creative solutions for their classrooms.
