Training Your Students using Literacy Centers

This is my most often question...how to set up literacy centers. So much time and preparation goes into setting up your guided reading program. So this will be a series of posts. I am going to start today with centers and how to teach students how to use them. Creating a reading program that is interactive and hands on is SO important! Students should be actively engaged in the learning process!

This takes so much time! First and foremost, I NEVER put an activity in a center that the students have not been taught how to use. Just because it's a cute, or really useful, doesn't mean it will effective in the students learning if they are not using it correctly. Teaching with stations can be very difficult, because you have to be able to hold the students accountable. Students should be completing the activity correctly, or it's just a waste of time :/

First step, introduce centers in small group teacher instruction first. For example, I am using my Corn Maze Rhyme Time. This game includes over 28 cards to it. So when I first introduce it, I am only using 8-10 cards. I arrange 8-10 cards out on the table. We read the words together, then the students take turns picking the rhymes out of the display. Once we've practiced this a few times, I will put it in a center and the student can then to the activity with a partner or independently. This game comes from my Fall-Literacy-and-Math-Center-Mega-Packet21-Centers-

Then, the student makes a stack with the cards they have chosen. At the end of the game, everyone reads their cards to me to and we discuss how they rhyme.  We do not do the response sheet that goes with this activity, but I do explain to them how to use it. 

Speaking of my Fall-Literacy-and-Math-Center-Mega-Packet21-Centers-..this packet is JAMMED packed! It has 13 literacy centers and 4 math centers. A whopping 147 pages and less than .10 cents a page! Super deal!  I also broke the packet up into smaller units to meet the needs of all of my customers.

My Favorite Freebie Linky Party

Hey Everyone! I am linking up with 2nd Grade Pad for her my Favorite Freebie Linky Party!


My favorite freebie so far is my Fun-With-Time-Packet-2-Centers

It is my favorite because...
I like it because it requires the students to be engaged and active in their learning. 

The story behind it...
This summer, my son was struggling with the concept of time. So I made wipe on/wipe off cards to help him. Then, I added a center activity. He LOVES this game. I can't wait to use it when I teach time this year!

How to use it...
I have three different centers. Two sets of wipe on/wipe off time cards and a time matching game. It is SO easy to use! Just print, cut out and laminate! Place the cards on a ring, either in seperate sets or all together. For the matching center, just cut out,laminate and store in a plastic bag. This is great for those fast finishers or strugglers that need extra reinforcement!
