How decide? Focus on practice and purposes,

not the “stuff” of stations Begin with what you are trying to

teach your purpose then you can figure out materials

What is a Literacy Work Station?Dillard’s definition: A literacy work station is an area within

the classroom where students work alone or interact with one another, using instructional materials to explore and expand their literacy.

A place where a variety of activities reinforce, or extend learning, often without assistance of the teacher.

A time for children to practice reading, writing, listening and working with letters and words.

Page 13: Guided Reading Centers

Utilizes existing classroom space and equipment (overhead, easel, tape recorder, pocket chart).

– Ex., Big Book easel becomes your Big Book Work Station

Variety of activities for children to choose from within each workstation (controlled choice)

Page 14: Guided Reading Centers

Emphasis is on practice—meaningful, independent practice.

Children practice all that the teacher has been modeling.

Activities grow out of what the teacher has done during read-aloud, shared reading, modeled writing, shared writing, small group instruction, etc.

Page 15: Guided Reading Centers

The Old Way of Doing Centers Materials were placed in the center

without first being used in teaching Centers were changed weekly with

units of study = lots of prep work No differentiation or choice –

everyone did the same thing
