Literacy in Our Class

This year we will observe a 90 minute literacy block. Students will spend an hour of the literacy block in literacy centers. Students will visit four different centers: Guided Reading (with Miss Chapple), Poetry (with Mrs. Perrigo), Writing (independent), and Working with Words/ABC (independent). The remaining 30 minutes of our literacy block will be spent in short group lessons: shared reading, writing, and phonemic awareness. The literacy block will look like this:

Phonemic Awareness - 10 minutes
Shared Reading - 10 minutes
Writing - 10 minutes

Rotation 1 (Guided Reading, Writing, Poetry Notebook, Working with Words/ABC) - 15 minutes
Rotation 2 (Guided Reading, Writing, Poetry Notebook, Working with Words/ABC) - 15 minutes
Rotation 3 (Guided Reading, Writing, Poetry Notebook, Working with Words/ABC) - 15 minutes
Rotation 4 (Guided Reading, Writing, Poetry Notebook, Working with Words/ABC) - 15 minutes
