Bring your classroom display to life with our vibrant The Speedy Sloth: Banner, designed to accompany a whole class reading of the much-loved picture book The Speedy Sloth by Rebecca Young.

This colourful banner is the perfect way to create a dedicated reading corner or showcase area during your unit on the book. Simply print the three banner pages, then tape the back to combine them into one long wall banner ready to display.

Pair this banner with our The Speedy Sloth Word Wall Cards and Posters to build an eye-catching and cohesive themed display.
