This pocket chart is not quite as sturdy as one I got at a teacher supply store, but it was $10 cheaper so I guess I got what I paid for. Since it was shipped folded, there are creases in the fabric and the plastic pockets. I'm hoping the creases will come out once it has been flat for a while. It's still usable with the creases--it just doesn't look as nice. (The one from the teacher supply store was rolled, not folded, so I didn't have this issue.) It has one nice feature--small weights are sewn into the bottom hem to help it hang flat.
Pocket charts are useful for all kinds of things. You don't have to hang them on a special rack--you can just pin them on the wall with thumbtacks. Ours holds a monthly calendar (made from colorful sentence strips,) a job chart, the cursive letters of the month, and the multiplication facts of the week. You can use them for spelling words or a daily schedule as well. Kids seem to like using them--my kids enjoy changing out the calendar each month.
Overall, this is a pretty good chart for the price.

We use this every day (with a pointer) to teach my young children to sort words, and read. The backing is tough enough, I don't worry about my young (1, 2, & 4 yr) children will rip it. The plastic is clear, so we can see everything through it. The girl in the picture has got to be photoshopped in. She could be huge in real life.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Standard Pocket Chart - Retail Packaging
This was exactly what I needed in my room. Fit perfectly on my pocket chart stand. A little wrinkled from packaging; but, that will relax in a few weeks/months. I am in it for the long haul, so it doesn't really matter about the wrinkles.

This is so versatile. We're currently using it with the alphabet-for recognition and spelling. It's also valuable at story/reading time, and matching games... LOTS of uses!
