Literacy Work Stations
Literacy Work Stations are a great way to practice the skills, concepts and new material learned in class! Each child completes 8 stations a week. That means each child will do two stations a day. Each station last approximately 20 minutes each.I use Pat Pavelkas Guided Reading Management system.
