Classroom teachers are already loving this resource!
“This provided materials and activities to help support my struggling readers. This gives them an opportunity to work at their own level independently!” -Melanie
“I use the phonics centers (long e, diagraph) in my reteach/small groups! I usually explain the phonics rule, then we build some words together, and then I divide up the cards, and the kids practice sorting. It worked so well, and my students were fully engaged!” – Stacy
“All but 5 or 6 of my second graders are on a K/1 level so this is wonderful for more levels of differentiation! I do an after school group on Wednesdays for some kids in my class and will be using these during that time as well.” – Alyssa

If I could only keep one literacy center resource, it would be this bundle. I use these centers all year long, and they have completely transformed my literacy block. The activities are engaging, aligned with the Science of Reading, easy to prep, and provide meaningful practice while I meet with small groups. My students love the variety, and I love knowing they’re practicing important skills independently. This bundle has absolutely been worth every penny and is one of the most-used resources in my classroom.

This bundle has been a fantastic addition to my classroom. The activities are engaging, well-organized, and align well with Science of Reading practices. I love the variety of phonics, reading, and writing centers, and my students are able to work independently after learning the routines. The materials are easy to prep, provide meaningful practice, and keep students actively engaged. This bundle has saved me so much planning time and is definitely worth the investment.
