Literacy Centers

Literacy centers are part of the literacy block. They allow students to work independently or with a small group of students. Literacy centers are geared towards reading, writing, phonics, and phonemic awareness.

ABC/Word Work Center: Students get to spell words using magnetic letters, put together alphabet puzzles, use play doh to make letters, and much more. 

Library Center: Students get to pick out any book they would like and read. They may read to themselves or their partner. 


Write the Room: Students walk around the room using a clip board and write as many words as they can. 

Read the Room: Students get to wear silly glasses and use a pointer to read any words they find around the room. 

Big Books: Students get to read/look at pictures in big books on the carpet. 

Computers: Students get to go on the website starfall.com. 

Listening Center: Students get to listen to a story being read to them. After they hear the story, they get to rate the book and draw a picture of their favorite part. 

Pocket Chart Center: Students get to match pictures with its beginning sound.


Ask your child what their favorite center is and leave a comment. Thank you!

  1. Chase says his favorite center is computer center. He says that he likes the games. He also enjoys "read the room," "write the room," and "listening center." Actually he has now decided he likes "all the centers!" He really enjoyed looking at the pictures and telling me all about his class!
