A Few Literacy Stations

There is a time every day when we practice some of our literacy skills.  Eventually, when kids are able to work independently, I will run some small Guided Reading groups.

At the beginning of the year, all of our stations involved letters and letter sounds.  This is a fun game where kids say the letters and their sounds to Mrs. Lewis and then get to toss the bean bag in the bin.  Some kids love the tossing part and others choose to just have the bin close by.

One of our newest stations is Little Books.  We are making sentences with sight word stamps. We also have some animals stamps and word cards to copy.  

One of my personal favorite is our Storytelling station.  I love using the felt board in class.  I usually start by reading a story and then we do a retelling with the felt board.  Sometimes, kids just tell the story with the felt pieces, and other times one person reads the book and the other puts the pieces up.

We have several other literacy stations that we use, but I wanted to give you a peek into a few of the activities we are doing to enhance our reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
