Primary Literacy Centers:
Making Reading and Writing STICK!
Susan Nations and Mellissa Alonso For K-3 teachers.
Keep K-3 students learning independently while you teach a small-group
lesson and at the same time provide quality reading and writing experiences
that support national standards! Primary Literacy Centers shows you
how to connect standards-based reading and writing instruction.
Here's everything you need to know to set up and manage centers in a
balanced literacy framework for Reading, Word Work, Listening, Research,
Literature Response, Writing and Poetry.
These seven, easy-to-maintain centers help you smarter, not harder.
Your literacy centers become focused places of learning where students
apply, practice and master standards-based skills and strategies.
Give students time to practice and apply literacy-block skills and critical
reading/writing strategies that you teach and model. Make literacy
centers a vital part of your standards-based classroom!
"With literacy demands higher than ever before, it is critical that
we give students time to practice and apply the strategies we teach.
Literacy centers provide authentic opportunities for students to practice
and apply reading and writing strategies." ---Susan Nations and Mellissa
