Centers for kindergarten classrooms8/7/2023 Today I’m excited to share 5 literacy centers that will allow your students to independently practice those four valuable skills. So how do you do that? My advice is to keep it SIMPLE. Instead, they are a valuable chance for students to apply, practice and reflect on skills and strategies you have already taught. But I realize I’ve missed BIG and important question, which is exactly WHAT should students do in literacy centers? So what are the other students doing while I’m working with this small group? They are working literacy centers! I’ve talked before about the benefits of centers, shared tips for planning and organizing, and strategies to limit disruptions. It is such important work and it requires my full attention. I can watch closely as students attempt a task and get a clear sense of their understandings and misconceptions. I perform informal assessments and collect data that helps drive my instruction. Within a small group, I assess understanding and provide immediate corrective feedback. In this post, I share literacy centers that allow students to practice these skills and offer you ideas and activities to get literacy centers up and running in your kindergarten, first or second grade classroom!īy now you probably know I LOVE literacy centers! Why? Because they allow me the time to provide targeted, explicit instruction to my small groups. Every classroom needs literacy centers that allow children to practice reading, writing, speaking and listening while you focus your attention on your small group instruction.
