First, choose the size comma rules posters you would like to print.
For letter size, print pages 3-20 on white paper or cardstock and laminate if desired.
For mini posters, print two or four per page (instructions are included).
For larger posters, send the appropriate PDF file to your school district or commercial printer. You can also enlarge a PDF into a poster on your own printer. See how in this blog post.
