Balanced Literacy Program Students are immersed in a literature rich classroom environment, reading books together as a class, in small groups or individually. Center activities develop skills needed to grow to become fluent readers and writers—that is, great communicators.
Take a look at the work these students are doing with the center activities here:

Students explore a variety of books from the classroom as well as the library. |
|
Alphabet Arc Students put the letters in alphabetical order on the arc. Progressively more difficult arcs are used, including those which only have a,m,n and z listed. |
|
Alphabet Order Students place letter blocks in alphabetic order. There is one set of lower case and one set of capital letters. |
|
Computer Center Students work alone or in pairs on computers using a variety of software. Students learn to type word wall words in MS Word and progress to sentences and stories. |
|
Foam Letters Students use foam letters to spell out their names, familiar words such as high-frequency words and vocabulary words. Students progress to writing sentences. |
|
Name Center Students match photos of students with written names. |
|
Puppets Students act out stories they have written using puppets. Or, they make up stories as they go along! |
|
Writing Center (Stamps) Students use letter stamps to form words & sentences. |
|
Flash Writing Students write the letter(s) that the teacher dictates. Later in the year, students write dictated words and sentences.
