Literacy Centers

Students love reading group time and having time to make choices in their literacy development.  Each day the students get to choose from:

• Read to Self
• Read to Someone
• Listening Station 
• Word Work
• Writing

They usually get to choose twice during a typical day in Language Arts unless I have them in a group at my teacher table.  

The listening station is either with a CD player or on the computer using Scholastic Book Flix.  This is a free website that is AWESOME.  Students get a fiction and nonfiction text option.  Be sure to bookmark this page, it is amazing!

Word Work has options of rhyming puzzle cards, object sorting by beginning sounds, and sound detective games.  

Writing options include:  make a book, write the room, label the room, handwriting, write sight words in rice and write holiday words around the room!
