Description
Hey busy teacher!
What if you had all the literacy stations activities you need for the entire year in one place, ready to go?
You have limited time to do all the tasks necessary to prepare for each day in your classroom. Planning and setting up your literacy stations doesn’t need to take a lot of your valuable time.
How Does The Literacy Stations Library Membership Help Teachers?
Planning multiple activities, at varying ability levels, for several independent literacy stations takes time.
That’s why The Literacy Stations Library membership is right for you.
All your stations for the year will be done for you.
The Literacy Stations Library membership provides unlimited access to activities that you use throughout the year. The resources within the membership are research and standards based and allow for differentiation. They are meant to be captivating and engaging for your students. With the variety of activities that you will find in The Literacy Stations Library, you’ll find that you can reclaim your planning time by having your centers planned for you.
Another benefit for independent literacy stations is the opportunity for students to practice the skills you have already taught them on their own while you work with smaller groups of children – interruption free. This is possible when you have standards-based, engaging, and fun activities at your literacy stations.
How Will The Literacy Stations Library Help My Students?
Literacy stations serve many functions for your students.
They have multiple opportunities for independent practice on the skills they have learned in your classroom.
They can work with partners to complete tasks, which helps them learn to cooperate with their classmates. Literacy stations also promote responsibility as your children learn your expectations for independent work. So having literacy station activities readily available for your students is important.
