Actually make centers WORK!!,
By School Faery "miss_smurfi" (Brea, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Literacy Work Stations (Paperback)
I have purchased many books on "centers", and still was not successful with small group time. Most literacy center books provide cute reproducibles to produce fun ideas, but all the ideas in the world is not enough to make centers work. THIS book does! First of all, it provides practical, realistic ways to understand your expectations for literacy centers, and great ways to introduce them to the students. The supplies for these centers are not time consuming for the teacher to make, the work stations will be in line with the curriculum. Her strategies for preventing and managing center behaviors are great! She outlines some fantastic mini-lessons to both learn and enhance the literacy centers. Reproducibles are included to go along with some of the centers, as well. One important feature is that each work station has more than task in it to help keep the students interested. The centers are fun for the children, and they are reading and/or writing in them! I highly recommend this book to K-2 teachers, it has helped me very much in my 1st grade classroom!

Best Center Book Ever!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Literacy Work Stations (Paperback)
As a literacy coach I have never seen a more comprehensive book on setting up centers (work stations) in an elementary classroom! This book covers everything: materials, introducing the work station, how to model them, solving problems, differentiation, assessment and accountability, and personal reflection. It even shows how kindergarten teachers can make their "traditional" centers more literacy-focused. A special section is also devoted to Second Language Learners. If you teach Kindergarten through 3rd grade, buy this book! You will love it!

Definitely worth the read!,
By Ms. Rebecca Whitfield "grade3teech" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Literacy Work Stations (Paperback)
I teach 3rd grade and started using centers last year in my classroom for the first time ever. Although my first year wasn't bad, I knew I wanted this coming school year to be much better and more organized than the last. Debbie Diller gives many great ideas and tips to manage centers and keep them fresh all year long. Although this book would be a 5 STAR book for K-2 grade teachers, I would also recommend it for 3rd grade teachers as well who are capable of using Debbie Diller's ideas given and "tweek" them to make them work for the older kids.This book was an EASY read! Be prepared to write down many of her ideas or highlight them to implement them into your classroom! |
