This is a list of possible literacy centers and the differentiated activities that students can do in each of the centers.Writing Activity-Connect 8 for Sentence Fluency
After reading a nonfiction text, students list 8 facts. Students are challenged to combine the 8 facts into 4 and then 2 sentences. This activity provides students with the opportunity to used conjunctions and phrases to turn simple sentences into compound and complex sentences.Product Research
Product research requires that students ask questions and use the product labeling to find and formulate answers. You will need to provide empty containers from grocery items. There is a bank of questions to use or you can have students brainstorm and list questions to answer.Number Cards for Bunco and Memory Games
Print these cards to place in a pocket chart or lay flat on a table. I use these cards to help students create an array for Memory Game or to designate what to do for each dice roll possibility.Memory Game
Memory is a great matching game that helps students to practice vocabulary, phonics, math facts and so much more. These are the basic directions. You will find that once you teach the process, the content can be changed to match the student expectations being addressed.Contraction Concentration
Play memory with your students to reinforce contractions. This game can be played in small groups or with the entire class. I use a pocket chart and place the words behind number cards so students can call the number they want to turn over.Blending Buddies
This simple, fun game reinforces blending onsets and rimes to form one syllable words. Play this game with a small group or put into a Word Work Station for independent and partner practice of blending.Contraction Word Cards
Print these cards as manipulatives for Contraction Concentration.Bunco My Sounds
Play this game to reinforce phonemic awareness. You will need picture cards and the dice. This is a great small group warm-up activity for students who need to become fluent at identifying sounds heard in one syllable words.Categories
