Description

Adorable themes keep students engaged but you don’t have to worry about matching your centers to seasonal themes.
Clear student directions with visual “I CAN” cards for each task will keep your students working independently during center time.
How do these kindergarten literacy centers differ from others? These literacy centers offer a multitude of ways to practice kindergarten skills. Each set will offer 8 – 12 hands-on tasks for the students to complete. Our goal here is to never hear, “I’m DONE!” during center time. We want to give kindergarten students plenty of opportunities to practice and overlearn during center time!
Additionally, these literacy centers are not tied to a season so you can rotate these literacy centers at any time during your kindergarten year!
You may decide to have students spirally various skills throughout the year! These center activities will keep these essential kindergarten skills current and ongoing! Practice makes permanent!
Here is what you find in this set of 113 literacy centers for kindergarten.
- Each center has 8-12 questions that provide lots of practice!
- “I Can” card which provides visual directions that emergent readers can use independently

What are some other ways to use kindergarten literacy activities? These activities were created for kindergarten students to use during center time. However, you can also use them as morning work, small group instruction, interventions, or even an assessment! Some teachers send a set of centers home to be used as a homework activity.

WHAT TEACHERS LIKE YOU ARE SAYING…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anne U. says, “I recommend this product for the early review of letters, syllables, rhyming, CVC words and vowel sounds and early sentence identification. This product kept my students busy and they enjoyed doing the activities. This product gave them a break from the typical pencil and paper work and made the work a little more enjoyable. I will utilize this product again in the future.”
