Customer Reviews

Wonderful, skill based learning for your students!

The book offers hundreds of small group literacy activities that are based on where children are and where you want to take them. They realize that not all students are cookie cutter and address how to allow them all to grow by meeting them at their current level. I really enjoyed the book and am in the process of creating the activities to start using with small groups. The only down side is that you have to create all activities (cutting, coloring, laminating, etc), it would have been much easier to include full color activities.

Good Resource

This book has many good 'independant reading center' games for children that are learning to read. The pictures are clear and easy to copy and color. I reviewed this book with our reading specialist this spring, and I went home that night and bought it.

Great Ideas!

As a kindergarten teacher who is expected to have her students do independent literacy centers, this book is great! Good ideas, with very few materials to buy. Self checking, and leveled, too!
