Spring Themed Literacy Centers for Kindergarten

Here are the literacy work stations my class has been working through:

READING WITH TOOBALOOS

I have a basket of books that are at various levels of difficulty. Some have been introduced during small group guided reading lessons, others are readers that are made up of sight words students have been introduced to throughout the year, and still others are more difficult, with words we have not yet covered.

Students use 'toobaloos' to read to themselves. They are little curved tubes that basically allow you to read into your own ear! So cool! {And loud...so it makes you read quietly :)}

'PLANTING' WORD FAMILIES

This great word family activity is from Rowdy in Room 300, and can be found here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Planting-Word-Families.

Students take a letter flower petal and put it into a word family flower pot to create a new word. The word is then recorded on their worksheet. 

EASTER EGG SYLLABLE SORT

I broke out the clapping gloves that had been used earlier this year.

This time, students clapped the syllables of words printed on Easter eggs, then placed them in the right column.

They then copied some of the words onto their recording sheet.

This great activity is from KinderKids Fun.

LISTENING CENTER

Students listened to a Berenstain Bears story & filled in a response sheet. This response sheet is from Mrs. Jump.

SIGHT WORD BOOK

The book we are working on is called Spring, and it introduces the sight word has.

You can find it at Hubbard's Cupboard.

See here for my small group guided reading lesson tips & procedures.

The new sight word was added to our Words to Know chart, so that students can high-five it/read it as they exit the room. Click here to learn more about my high-five chart!
