  11. Extending Read Alouds to Centers Your task… • Choose a read aloud with your group. • Read the story • Talk about ways to extend the book into centers. How you extend the book to a literacy center? How can you extend the book to a learning center? • Identify materials, ideas for extending and standards being addressed.

  12. Creating a literacy area In your groups… • Look at your personal area (table, purse, bags, etc.) and gather all of the items that are literacy related. • What are some things children might be doing at a learning center that includes these items? • Make a list of possible activities that you might see?

  13. Key Elements of Learning Centers Each center should Include: • well defined boundaries and traffic patterns. • Quiet zones • Soft areas • Storage • Labeled bins, shelves, etc. • Make materials accessible • Separate teachers materials and student materials • Writing materials and books should be in many areas. • Avoid clutter • You should see all parts of the room

  15. PRINT has to have PURPOSE

  16. Infusing Literacy in Centers • Choose a learning center that you currently implement. How can you or do you infuse literacy into it? What materials can you add? What ideas do children need to guide their work and play so literacy is fostered? What is your role at the center?
