Literacy Centers and Workshop Time

Hi all! Today I'm linking up with  Sunny Days in Second Grade to talk about literacy centers! I'm so fortunate to have a lengthy workshop time during our ELA block to work with students in a small group setting every day. While I do have to use our Imagine It! curriculum for our small group/reteach lessons, I have the freedom to create/use any literacy centers I'd like for the rest of my kiddos working independently. :) Here are a few examples of some of the centers I offer as part our workshop time:

Each flexible group has a must do before they can get started with a literacy center.

These are posted in the front of the classroom (noise level chart made by A Teeny Tiny Teacher).

Mini chants that pertain to the Imagine It! unit we are currently on.

I usually have a picture of that center so my visual learners know exactly what they need to be working on.

 

 

Some examples of literacy activities my students can choose from

Students search through the newspaper to find words or sounds that we have been working on during the week. Click on the picture to download the form for free!

Students love to use these as comprehension questions or prompts

Big books are expository texts my students use as a read-aloud center to practice overall fluency, accuracy, pacing, and expression.

What do literacy centers look like in your room? Link up and let us know about your amazing centers!
