Literacy Centers

Here are some pictures of the kiddos at their Literacy Centers during our Reading Block.

You can see 3 students at Table 1 (or background group) as we call it.  They are completing a 15 minute activity that is usually practicing the spelling words in some form or fashion!  I will read with a leveled group for 15 minutes and then switch with my background group. 

Above - these students are at my teacher table practicing reading their phonics readers using whisper phones, before we read them out loud as a group. 

She is reading aloud from her phonics reader at my teacher table. 

Here’s a picture of the boys following along with their whisper phones while the other student is reading aloud. 

These students are at their literacy center doing a word sort. They will have 30 minutes to complete this center rotation.  

These students are comparing and contrasting an eagle with a chicken using a Venn diagram that’s drawn on my door. The facts have magnets on the back so that they can place them in the correct place on the Venn diagram on the metal door.   Then they cut and paste the same facts to match the ones sorted on the door!  

These students are also doing a word sort as well.  The small group center rotations are 30 minutes each.  I hope you enjoy seeing the kids in action in their literacy centers!  We usually start these around 2:00 o'clock every day!
